Old St Paul's Church, Jeffrey Street

This church is crammed in between buildings in the Old Town behind Waverley Station.

Once in you climb a long flight of steps before entering the main part of the church. The War memorial Chapel is in the North-West corner of the church behind the crucifix on the right of this photograph



War Memorial Chapel.



There are banners displayed around the roof of the chapel. These have regimental badges on them but are not colours provided by the regiments.
