Exploring the vision and challenges behind one of Britain’s most striking modern churches
As part of this year's 50th anniversary celebrations of our Abbey Church, you're warmly invited to this unique event exploring the vision and challenges behind one of Britain's most striking modern churches. Join us for coffee at 10:30am followed by a talk at 11am on Saturday 4th October when Architect Fred Manson of Heatherwick Studio will offer insights into the creative process behind Francis Pollen's bold design and of Thomas Heatherwick's acclaimed interior transformation, followed by a dialogue with Abbot Christopher Jamison. This will be a reflection on the legacy of Francis Pollen's work and the way architecture continues to shape the Abbey's life of prayer and community. Find out more and how to register here.
