I paid a visit to Fulton, Missouri, yesterday and came across several very peculiar items in this small country town. I'll start with two of them here and move on to the third in the next post.
Did you know the Sir Christopher Wren, architect of St Paul's in London, built a church in Fulton? Well, have a look at these photos:

It is actually a Wren church built by 1677! But its original location was Fleet Street in London and it was gutted in the bombing of London in the second world was. In short, it was removed block by block from the UK and reconstructed in Fulton ... and of course cleaned up.
The wall standing alongside is a sculpture made from eight sections of the Berlin Wall to commemorates the collapse of the Iron Curtain and the end of the Cold War and is the work of artist and granddaughter of Winston Churchill, Edwina Sandys. It was dedicated to Westminster College in 1990 by former President Ronald Reagan.
