Church

The Church of St Clement is located in the Brussels municipality of Watermael-Boitsfort. The oldest parts of the church, the nave and bell tower date from the 11th century.[1] Various architectural features were added to the church when it was restored in 1871, during which work a number of historic tombstones were recovered.[1]

The municipality's second church, the Church of St Philomena, was built in 1826.[1]

gollark: It's possible that `rs` is marginally better-performing because its name is shorter so any function operating on it does less work, but this effect is undoubtedly tiny enough to be entirely insignificant.
gollark: The names are defined here:```java @Override public String[] getNames() { return new String[] { "rs", "redstone" }; }```in https://github.com/SquidDev-CC/CC-Tweaked/blob/4c8fd4fc358d034b8346d0a5325039076c1d641b/src/main/java/dan200/computercraft/core/apis/RedstoneAPI.java#L26-L30.
