I journeyed to London, to the timekept City, / Where the River flows, with foreign flotations. / There I was told: we have too many churches, / And too few chop-houses.
T. S. Eliot (1888-1965), The Rock

That play was staged in 1934 to raise money for new churches in London. The money might have been better spent refurbishing the hundreds of churches that already existed in the city.
Best wishes, Pete.
