EXHIBITION

This weekend, there is also a special 175th anniversary exhibition at Farm Street Church, hosted by the British Jesuit Archives. Visitors can enjoy a peaceful walk through Farm Street Gardens, and see this stunning neo-Gothic church founded on 31 July 1844 before exploring the exhibition which showcases the church's rich history. Running from 5 to 7 July, the exhibition explores the early history of the church and the development of the building, at the effects of the Second World War and aspects of parish life, as well as notable Jesuits associated with the church.

A special display in the Sacred Heart Chapel offers a look at the work of four of the church's architects: Joseph John Scoles, Augustus Pugin, Henry Clutton, and WH Romaine Walker.

Exhibition Dates and Times:
