So far, wondering about it was as far as he’d gone. He did not really like the idea of cameras. Chilly things, staring, reporting back. Although CCTV might be fine at a bank or petrol station or jail, it did not seem to Manse suitable for his and the children’s home – and Patricia or Carmel or Lowri’s home, during their joyful, allocated spells as residents. And to Mansel it did not seem suitable for an ex-rectory, either. He prized this religious connection and wanted nothing to taint it. A rectory, when it was still a working rectory, would not have had CCTV. God watched over it, not fucking cameras. People visiting the rector might of felt snooped on, might even of got put off coming here, if cameras tracked them. This would be the wrong kind of treatment for church members, like they was enemies, whereas they might want to discuss raging soul problems or hand in decent garden produce for the harvest festival. It’s true that if he’d had CCTV filming, Manse would of known straight off who lifted the pictures and what went on at the top of the stairs.
