Talks from the National Churches Trust

Do you enjoy looking round churches? The National Churches Trust is running a series of online talks: ‘Knowledge Drop: Decoding Sacred Symbols with Richard Taylor’.

More information from the Trust:

Exploring churches is always a wonderful way to spend your spare time. From the smallest chapels to grand cathedrals, there is always something to see.  

But understanding the hidden meanings behind stained glass, carvings, wall paintings, and architectural details can sometimes be hard. If you’ve ever found yourself curious to learn more, our new event series will be right for you.  

From 1-2pm on 9, 10 and 11 September, we’re excited to be running Knowledge Drop: Decoding Sacred Symbols with Richard Taylor, who is the UK’s leading symbologist and a Vice President of the National Churches Trust. 

You will be guided through the rich world of imagery found in our sacred buildings so you can see them with a new understanding and a sharper eye for hidden meaning.
