No, I was not in Italy, I was just outside Worthing, actually, a place named Goring.
Yes, the only reproduction in the world of the ceiling of the Sistine chapel in Rome.
In 1987 Gary Bevans, having visited the original, asked his local priest for permission to do likewise to the English Martyrs Church.
English Martyrs Church, Goring, Sussex.
The work took Mr Bevans five and a half years to complete the 3,500 sq ft and is two thirds of the size of Michelangelo's original.
