Join Cheryl Butler via ZOOM to learn about 400 years of Pear Tree Church and its parish.

In September 1620 the Jesus Chapel was the first church since the Reformation to be consecrated using a new Anglican service specially written by Lancelot Andrewes, Bishop of Winchester. In this talk Cheryl will tell us the history of the chapel and its parish over the last 400 years. A tale of pirates, spycatchers, wealthy merchants and cannibalism(!)
