About this Event

Places of worship like Westminster Abbey or St Margaret’s Church unlock our understanding of a shared past. As places of worship, community hubs and locations for calm reflection, they serve many purposes and have evolved over time to reflect the societies that have built them.   

Join stonemason and church conservator Andrew Ziminski as he guides you through the history and architecture of Britain’s churches.  Ziminski will shed light on the detail, features and meanings that can be found in our places of worship, revealing some of their fascinating histories in the process.  

In this talk Ziminski will examine the history of churches across the British Isles and Ireland, with a special focused placed on the Tudor architecture and monuments of St Margaret’s.  

This event is part of our monthly Lunchtime Talk series. On the second Wednesday of every month, join us at St Margaret’s Church for an in-depth exploration of part of the Abbey’s history.
