St. Vladimir's Church (Reganbank)
Description
St Vladimir's Church is now a four-storey concrete building surrounded by burnt-out cars. The crumbling old Gothic church was pulled down and replaced as part of a corrupt development scheme during the mid-1980s. The modern edifice is now also crumbling as the cheap concrete used consisted largely of potato peels and sawdust.
In both modern and original forms it was a damp, dreary, cobwebbed church, which may well have been constructed in close proximity to St. Innocent's Church (Reganbank) for a reason.
One-hundred and thirty-two years ago, a ship crossed the sea and dropped its sails in Malton harbour. Off stepped one Vladimir Drocul, who produced Vatican papers decreeing that he establish a new church. His scouts picked a parcel of land opposite St.Innocent's church and set to work commissioning a master stone mason and transylvising his initial designs. St. Innocent's priest was a trusting man; he thought nothing of the church's imposing Gothic architecture, darkened to the point of blacked-out stained glass windows, strange opening hours or puzzling lack of upright crosses or conventional bibles. When the more dutiful members of his congregation began leaving for St. Vladimir's without explanation, he put it down to his short-comings as a Priest. As weaker members of his congregation began disappearing altogether, he was forced to draft more members from poorer villages, who couldn't afford churches of their own.
St. Innocent's church was declared to have the highest congregation turnover of any church in the Malton rankings, which gave St. Vladimir's the honour of having the highest conversion rate. Upon hearing of Vladimir's premature death, due to Iron poisoning, the Vatican welcomed him into the Sainthood and saw to it that he was interred within the crypts, below his church. Hundreds of his loyal congregation were also interred at approximately the same time, their causes of death eerily similar to those of Vladimir. --Father Bigley 02:05, 13 October 2007 (BST)
