St Michaels and All Angels -Church

About

Enjoy our programme of angel windows, hear our bells and learn something of the architect, the statement the church was designed to make, and the dedicated local people who financed it.

Refreshments and children's activity.

St Michael's is a Grade 2 listed building with a significant link to the later stage of the Oxford Movement. Designed by Arthur Blomfield in 1875, it has some impressive stained glass (most of it conceived as a programme illustrating Biblical episodes relating to the angels), a "Father" Willis organ and some other distinctive elements (eg the fact that it has a narthex) that made a particular statement among Maidstone's Victorian churches. The church maintains its distinctiveness today in its appointments and style of worship. 

The event coincides with Ride and Stride; riders, striders and all visitors are invited to enjoy a free cuppa and cake.
