Changing Faces Exhibition Private View @ St Augustine’s One Tree Hill – thursday 26th May 2011 at 7:00pm
In the thirty-seventh year of Queen Victoria’s reign, Kentish ragstone, spiritual need, mortar, hope in a new community, hard labour, beauty in nature, artistic genius – many other things too – came together 300 feet above sea level in the County of Kent and the Diocese of Rochester, on the southern slope of a hill with just One Tree.
The church of Saint Augustine was a finished building, but always ready for change and growth – ready in 1873 and just as ready 138 years on.
“Changing Faces” exhibition will show you in vivid and graphic ways how, when, why currents of change have swirled around the people of the church, the people on the hill, the local communities of Honor Oak Park and Forest Hill.
You are warmly invited to come and have a drink with us on Saturday and:
Turn things round – the way things look, local assumptions, ideas past their sell by date
Be passionate
Have an argument; this is a good one – we say that this church is living heritage for you as well as us; English Heritage has previously funded us from your lottery ticket purchases and we’ve asked them again; we now need to spend heavily and spend soon on high-level stonework repairs; so it’s only right for us to ask all our friends, neighbours, networks, communities to help us out. Do you agree?
Just sit in a quiet corner and appreciate the beauty if you want
