About this event

1 hour

Living stones. Down through the centuries, Christians have built their churches to speak of faith in God and celebration of what it is to be human in art and architecture. There are two opportunities to be expertly guided in a one-hour session that explores the living stones of the neo-classical Jesuit Church of the Sacred Heart, a hidden Grade A listed building that is unknown to many.
