GUIDED TOURS

The Church of the Holy Angels has been a focus for Anglo-Catholic worship since its foundation in 1874. Built by the Hon. Emily Meynell Ingram as a memorial to her late husband, it sits on a wooded ridge next to Hoar Cross Hall, dominating the local countryside. The church was built without regard of cost and caused Bodley (it’s architect) to comment 'Oh, that one had more opportunities as was granted at Hoar Cross'.  The building is decorated throughout with stained glass by Burlison and Grylls . The walls of the nave are hung with a set of carved Stations of the Cross in gilded frames. The organ, based on a Green instrument from Bangor Cathedral, lies behind an elaborate case, designed by Cannon Sutton. There are a number of side chapels, including a Lady Chapel and Chantry Chapel, which contains the Meynell family memorials. Conducted tours can be arranged for groups at a mutually convenient time by contacting the Tour Co-ordinator. Refreshments can be provided by arrangement.
