Summary

Description
English: St. John the Wonderworker Orthodox Church - Military Road, Colchester, Essex. Supreme Irony! The former Camp (Garrison) Church in Colchester was built as a hospital for soldiers returning from the Crimean War. Rejected by Florence Nightingale it was used for a hundred and fifty years as a place of worship. When 37814 was taken its future use was uncertain, as the 1418952 were due to move to to Merville Barracks 37809 . In a twist of fate the building built for a war against the Russians was saved by the Russian Orthodox Church, since 2007 it has been St John's Orthodox Church https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxeCl-uoVjc
