Talks at the Tower | Richard Hill: Nonconformists in Hackney

This talk tells the story of the famous Newington Green chapel as prosperous families from Highbury and Newington became increasingly influential in the congregation. It is a story of more hymns and prayers, clubs, Sunday schools and charitable work – and less radical theology. Richard will describe these changes and will illustrate the social world of middle-class Islington and Hackney that was centred on the Chapel.

There are a limited number of tickets for this event. Entry is Free but Registration is required.

Doors open at 7pm. Talk begins at 7:30pm
