Nine Lessons and Carols, Leek
The Christmas Nine Lessons and Carols service in All Saints, Leek
This evening Lyn and I went to the Christmas service of Nine Lessons and Carols in the magnificent church of All Saints’, Leek. The building, dating from 1885, is a stunning, Grade I listed, Arts & Crafts Churchdesigned by Norman Shaw, one of the leading architects of the movement. It has many examples of Arts and Crafts style decoration in the wall-paintings, stained glass (some by William Morris) and embroideries.
Wonderful...I must get in for a look round.
