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. The church is believed to still be the home of the priceless St Aelred's Jewel, which topped St Aelred's wooden crozier, but its precise location is now lost to history.
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.
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.
You are inside St Aelred's Church. The building has been very strongly barricaded
Current Status
Services are held at eventide each day, ravenousness of congregation permitting. A collection plate is passed round afterwards. Please do not chug the communion wine or eat the choristers. The aisles of the church have been been decorated with an abstract painting.
