DESCRIPTION:Celebrating the art and architecture of St Mary’s and markin
 g the 150th anniversary of consecration.\n\nThe Church of St Mary’s is\,
  architecturally and artistically\, one of the most distinguished Anglo-Ca
 tholic mission churches of the late nineteenth century in London. Since it
 s consecration in 1874\, the church has been the subject of near-continuou
 s enrichment\, embellishments and expansions. The outstanding architectura
 l and historic interest of the building is recognised by a Grade II* listi
 ng by Historic England and the neighbouring Presbytery is listed at grade 
 II Like so many mission churches of this type the elevation to the street 
 is a sombre and austere one but this belies the opulence and magnificence 
 of the decoration and fittings of the interior\, and the stunning contempo
 rary design by Matthew Lloyd Architects of the new community facilities co
 mpleted last year. The Study Day will for the first time explore in detail
  how the Church came to be founded and its considerable contribution to ni
 neteenth\, twentieth and twenty-first century art and architecture. The da
 y will draw together experts in their field and whilst concentrating upon 
 St Mary’s will set the church in a wider context and will be of interest
  to all those involved with similar buildings and institutions.\n\nSpeaker
