Basic Info:

Description
An old church with hand-fitted masonry. Its solid walls have aged into dappled shades of grey and amber. It appears to have been pieced together over the decades. The clock tower still functions.
Barricade Policy
Serving as an entry point to the old Fyfhyde Iron Works, the barricades should always be kept at very strong. It also serves as a respite for the revive-weary traveler who may have just risen from nearby Fyfhyde Plaza.
History
St. Aelred, the patron saint of integrity, died in 1167. Some 950 years later the old Potter Hill church was renamed in his honor, to spread the virtue of integrity throughout Foulkes Village. In the days before the quarantine the Feast of Aelred was celebrated in the eponymous church every January the 12th. Even now, some of Crew Avenue Police Department's finest can be found paying their respects there by indulging in their traditional feast - the jelly filled donut.
Being the only traditional church in Foulkes Village it remains a spiritual center for a handful of citizens and was recently incorporated into the CAPD compound to provide added security. From March 28-29, 2009, the Church of the Resurrection preached on the church grounds and sanctified St. Aelred's Church in Sweet Zombie Jesus' name.
