Church of England

THE Rev. Guy Gibbins, 48-year-old Roman Catholic priest, of Calne, Wiltshire, is appealing for funds to build a new church. And he wants it built just down, the road from the Church of England parish where he once was rector.

. It was

three years ago that Father Gibbins returned to the market town of Calne. Ten years previously he had resigned his living as rector of nearby Broughton-Gifford church because, he claims, of the "ghost" of Henry Younge, who was the last rector of the church before the Reformation.
