A New St Mark's

As St Mark's was only a temporary church it had never been consecrated and therefore Vivian could not be inducted. To be inducted, a priest must be attached to a recognised parish, and a parish must have a permanent church. To this end he decided to get, somehow, a permanent building. It had to be of stone or brick to last. Could he find an old building, barn or outhouse, that would provide the materials. But the quantity needed would be huge and what of the timbers for the roof? For this he would need another church.

Could he find a disused church, a redundant church, and remove it to Biggin Hill? And the labour involved would be expensive too. He would have to do all the work himself.
