Behind plain grey stone lies an unexpected lavish interior. Fr Oliver Brewer-Lennon guides visitors through this remarkable church.
About this Event

Tollcross is now an expensive place to live. When St Michael and All Saints was built, it was one of the poorest parts of the city. The church was founded for people with very little, yet nothing inside reflects that. Behind plain grey stone lies a lavish, uncompromising interior articulated in colour, gilding, and devotional imagery. On this tour, the Rector Fr Oliver Brewer-Lennon invites visitors to discover a church that still startles, still contends, and still rewards close attention. Organized in conjunction with the National Churches Trust.
