Britain's What's On Event Guide
Sunderland Minster
Heritage Open Day: Beautiful city centre church with a long history and interesting architectural features and stained glass. A church dedicated to St. Michael has stood on the site since Anglo Saxon times but has been replaced several times and now incorporates surviving elements of late Saxon, medieval and Georgian churches. The main body of the church was rebuilt by W. D. Caroe in the Perpendicular Gothic style because of mining subsidence in the 1930s and alterations took place in the 1980s to make it more fit for purpose in the twentieth century.
Stained glass windows include work by William Morris, Marion Grant and Thomas Denny. There is a weeping chancel, a pulpit turned into an altar and a significant collection of war memorials.
