The Victorian High Church
This title is no longer available from the Roland Collection. Details remain on this site for the reference of previous customers.
The Anglo-Catholic or `high-church' movement, which was seen by its opponents as a dangerous and unforgivable effort to move the Church of England nearer to Rome, and by its adherents as an attempt to restore a spiritual dimension which the conventional, worldly Church of England had lost, gave rise to enormous upheaval and conflict during the Victorian era. All Saints Church, Margaret Street, was built in 1849 to serve Anglo-Catholics in what was then a poor part of London. Here its architecture and design, and its rich decoration, are examined in the light of what we know about its `ritualistic' purpose. All Saints is also compared with its near contemporary, St Marks in Dalston, London, which was designed for more orthodox Anglican worship.
