1820–1895 (age 75)
Biography
Charles Lucas, a careful builder of houses and hopes alike, left his mark more than once upon Warnham, ensuring that the Parish Church of St Margaret remained a place of shelter and beauty. He applied the same scrupulous care to the construction of the physical parish buildings as to the nurturing of the community that gathered within them.
Always the craftsman, he believed that every stone set with intention could support a thousand prayers, and he inscribed in his own way a legacy of steadfastness for future generations.
