On 20 February 2025 there was a sparkling discussion about Nicholas Hawksmoor held in the atmospheric setting of the nave of St Anne’s Limehouse. Speakers: Helene Binet, Owen Hopkins and Iain Sinclair.

We were delighted to have prolific vlogger, John Rogers, take an interest in doing a feature story on St Anne’s. Our Chair of CFSA, Philip, was more than happy to show him around so he could get content for his vlog. See the recording here.
