In this little black book ‘Wandering among the Aisles’ which has graced the library shelves for umpteen years, Bernard McEvoy, in 1878, wrote of his visits to all the churches in Sutton Coldfield at that time.  His object was to give his impression as an average man of the buildings, the ceremonies, the music and singing therein.  At times, he pulls no punches, but some of his descriptions are quite delightful!
