The Little Chapel

[Binlid]

On our recent holiday on Guernsey we visited The Little Chapel which is one of the biggest attractions on the Island.It was created by Brother Deodat in July 1914,his intention was to create a miniature version of the grotto and basilica at lourdes, the Rosary Bassilica.It has been created using pebbles and broken China and it really is awesome to see close up.

Just calculated, I visited it 40 years ago. I only have a couple of photos courtesy of Kodak. Thanks for the reminder. I also remember a small zoo.
