Royal Garrison Church, Old Portsmouth, picture special | Nostalgia
Used as an ammunition store after the Reformation, it became part of the governor of Portsmouth’s house during Elizabeth I’s reign.
The church was restored in the 19th century and although the nave was badly damaged in a 1941 firebomb raid on Portsmouth by the Luftwaffe, the chancel is still roofed and furnished.
