103.0. "Ruins in Basingstoke?" by RDGENG::SIM () Mon Feb 13 1989 08:47

    I was out for an after-lunch stroll with some friends yesterday
    and came across the ruins of a church.  I believe it's called
    Holy Ghost Chapel - it's somewhere up behind the station.  
    
    Can anyone give me any details about its history?  There was the
    remains of an information board, but some bright spark had stolen
    the vital part. 
    
    Thanks

    Sorry I don't know too much only that I have a couple of friends
    who have had some very spooky experiences there.  I actually got
    married in the Church (No not the ruins I'm not that old).
    
    Try ringing the priest of the church.  Directory enquiries will
    give you the number.  Either that or go to the Library.  There are
    quite a few books/pamphletts about Basingstoke.  There is also the
    Museum in town.
    
    Good Luck.
