A one-day conference celebrating the architecture of this award-winning church by the renowned ecclesiastical architect George Pace.About this Event
In 1948, the renowned ecclesiastical architect George Pace was commissioned to rebuild the bomb-damaged St Mark's Broomhill. Pace produced three schemes and after several false starts, the rebuilt church was opened in 1963. Pace's design is liturgically daring and combines a strongly modernist approach with a love of material and an attention to detail derived from the Arts & Crafts movement. Notable is the way that Pace worked with other artists of distinction to complement and complete his architecture. Particular features to note are the great east window with glass designed by Harry Stammers and the west window with a wonderful abstract composition by John Piper and Patrick Reyntiens.
This one-day conference will allow participants to explore the building and its fine stained glass in the company of noted experts in their fields:
Richard Taylor on interpreting the church's architecture
Frances Spalding on the west window in the context of John Piper's and Patrick Reyntiens partnership
Ann Sotheran on Harry Stammers and the Te Deum window
A panel discussion will be chaired by Clyde Binfield.
A light lunch and coffee and tea will be available for a small charge.
