On Thursday, the Rector of St Saviour, the Rev Anthony Swindell, complained that the firm – recently given a licence to operate a mobile telephone system – had applied to put a mast on the church without consulting him first.
He says the company phoned him to apologise, adding that they would withdraw the application and consult him and the churchwardens before making it again.
Cable and Wireless want to replace an existing flagpole on top of the church tower with another flagpole that has an antenna inside it.
