There is good news. Circulating with this week’s e-News may be the only located photograph of Richmond Corner’s old St John the Evangelist church. The photo is on a postcard from about 1904, when the building was 32 years old. The card was spotted and collected by Ernest Clarke in St Andrews. Its image was nicely colourized, with roof and siding shingles clearly visible. (When AI was asked about this image, it identified it as St Mark’s.)
