Carols by candlelight

Sir: I have recalled Charles Moore’s horror that his church was to be floodlit (The Spectator’s Notes, 13 September). How terribly sad that will be for all concerned, and especially at Christmas. I just thought I’d write to say that my church in Woolbeding is lit by candlelight, as the communicants have ruled against electricity. Woolbeding is in West Sussex, not too far from Mr Moore’s home, I believe. If things are unbearable, perhaps he can come here. Our candlelight carol service is a real treat.
