http://www.robinchapel.org.uk/robin_history.html

There was a very interesting program on Radio Scotland this Remembrance Sunday talking about the Robin Chapel in Craigmillar, Edinburgh.

The attractive chapel was built by Sir Frances and Lady Tudsbery in memory of their only son, Robin a lieutenant in the Royal Horse Guards (The Blues), who was killed in Germany in the last days of the Second World War while serving with his First Household Cavalry Regiment. His parents sought not only to commemorate a beloved son but also to further the spirit of unity and concord among Christian people.

I could have sworn we had this on the forum but for the life of me I can't find it.
