"You can not get in to the Tower of London without payment."
No church, or cathedral is in any way comparable to The Tower of London with all its displays.
You don't have to pay to enter art galleries and museums in Britain - far more culturally important and informative than anything any church, and essential to our and our children's education.
Only a tenth of the population visit church. and well over half the voting population are opposed to paying for and in many cases allowing religious schools.
Perhaps the churches should be considering changing for services as it is very much a minority habit.
