The Way of the Cross, also known as the Stations of the Cross, is a solemn and reflective church service that commemorates the journey of Jesus Christ to his crucifixion. Typically observed during the season of Lent, participants follow a series of stations or stops, each representing a significant event along Jesus' path to Calvary. Through prayer, scripture readings, and reflective meditation, worshippers engage in a spiritual pilgrimage, contemplating the profound sacrifice and love demonstrated in Christ's journey to the cross. The Way of the Cross serves as a powerful and poignant reminder of the Christian faith's central tenets, inviting believers to connect deeply with the passion and suffering of Jesus.

Plumstead: St Michael

This wonderful church has its origins in the 12th century but has numerous later additions. It comprises a nave (13th century), chancel (14th century), west tower and clerestory. The south aisle of this church was demolished sometime before the 19th century. It is a flint built structure with clunch ashlar dressing. However, the north wall is made from unusual herringbone pattern carrstone conglomerate of an early date (12th century). Interesting external features include the fishscale tiled west tower with carved stone gargoyles adorning each corner. Inside there is a plain octagonal font, decorated Easter Sepulchre (14th century) and numerous beautiful stained glass windows, several of which are made from 16th/17th century Flemish glass and which were brought here from Catton Hall in 1952.
