Britain's What's On Event Guide
Sensing St Alfege. The Flavourful Histories of St Alfege Church
Heritage Open Day: Sensing St Alfege includes a small exhibition and two workshops detailing the unique stories of St Alfege Church that demonstrate how food connected past individuals from the 18th century until today. Using multi-sensory approaches in combination with food history, the exhibition highlights the various routes people, goods and ingredients took to reach the local area. Sensing St Alfege will also show how such global networks influenced social and cultural life in the Church and in Greenwich. Most importantly, the exhibition centres the unique and personal stories of St Alfege that embodied these changes. Some key characters include: the chocolatier Mrs Grace Tosier, local victualler Francis Cofield, and civilians who sheltered at St Alfege during WWII and experienced food rationing.
