This magnificent grade 2 listed building in London Fields recently celebrated its 50th Anniversary with a service celebrated by the Bishop of London.
The first vicar of the church attended along with a number of long standing and current parishioners.
It was designed by the architect Nugent F. Cachmaille-Day who was responsible for restoring several other bomb-damaged churches in the area.
The church artist John Hayward had an opportunity to create the whole interior of the church.
His art includes the Apostles' windows on the east side of the church and nine striking murals. If you haven't been to visit it's definitely worth a trip.
Hayward also designed an aluminium sculpture of St. Michael slaying the dragon at the entrance of the church which is a local landmark.
