The Great Fire of London, a Viking Battle at London Bridge, and the Tower of London will all feature in a lantern-lit Catholic History Walk on 27 November, which finishes with Evensong and Mass at the Church of the Most Precious Blood, Borough - a parish in the care of the Ordinariate.
Catholic History Walks are organised throughout the year by the "Continuity" Movement, which seeks to promote an understanding of Britain's Christian history. They usually start from Westminster Cathedral. But this final Walk of the year will focus on the City of London and the Thames, and will start at The Monument.
This week the History Walks - which are led by the Catholic journalist and broadcaster, Joanna Bogle - a member of the Ordinariate who worships at the Most precious Blood Church - are featuring in a series on the US based Catholic TV channel, EWTN. For more details visit EWTN's website. Click here
All are welcome to take part in the 27 November History Walk, meeting at 5.30pm at The Monument tube station. The Walk will take an hour, finishing at the Most Precious Blood Church, Borough, in time for Evensong at 6.30 pm and and Mass at 7.00 pm. Walkers are recommended to wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for rain or cold - organisers say "We'll be walking whatever the weather. There's no need to book - just turn up".
The History Walks have been running for several years: they are organised by The Continuity Movement, which seeks to promote an understanding of Britain's Christian history. One of its founding patrons was the late Mgr Graham Leonard, the former Anglican Bishop of London, who converted to Catholicism.
