Restoration of a Landmark Sydney Church
Re-decoration of the Chancel :1

As part of our series of posts on the refurbishment of Saint Thomas of Canterbury's church, Lewisham, we are pleased to include these two photographs taken before and after the major redecoration of the sanctuary. Further photographs, with a detailed description of the work, will be the subject of forthcoming posts.

Liturgy and Architecture

This Blog is subsidiary to the Saint Bede Studio and presents another facet of our work and ongoing study. The purpose of this blog is to provide materials helpful to those re-ordering our Churches or building new ones.

Observations on Catholic architecture (particularly as it pertains to the Sacred Liturgy and its aesthetics) will be presented here. Restoration and re-ordering work of our churches will also be discussed, in addition to newly-built churches.

Although the focus will be on illustration by means of available photographs, we will also provide articles and links to articles helpful to those designing and ornamenting churches and their furnishings.

Lastly, some of the Saint Bede Studio's own work in this field will be presented for the interest of readers.

Please visit us regularly.
