We shall enjoy a waterside stroll along the picturesque Grand Union Canal and Fiona will point out features of interest in this fascinating area.
We will walk to St Mary Magdalene’s, a grade 1 listed Gothic Revival church considered to be George Edmund Street’s masterpiece. Fiona will explain the historical and religious importance of this church built in 1865 in what was then a deprived area of London.
Fr Henry will explain the “Grand Junction” development project which he led for 15 years. Fiona will provide a guided tour inside this church where we shall see a highly decorated interior and the restored St Sepulchre chapel in the undercroft.
We will conclude with a visit to the church café, developed as part of the project.
It will be a lovely interesting afternoon, not too much walking, opportunity to sit down and excellent fellowship.
