John Gray's role
[edit]According to this article, John Gray, along with "Raffalovitch as benefactor", planned to build the church while he was serving as curate at St Patricks. As far as I can see, this is not directly supported by the quoted citations.
According to a news story on the BBC, Gray and Raffalovitch conceived the idea of building the church while Gray was convalescing in Rome from a bout of pneumonia.[1] The BBC story cites Jerusha Hull MacCormack's book as its source.[2]
Does anyone know which of these versions is correct? (I don't have access to MacCormack's book to verify this.) Mike Marchmont (talk) 17:32, 27 December 2023 (UTC) Mike Marchmont (talk) 17:32, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
