St
Michaels
&
All
Angels
is
two
churches
in
one,
the
first
being
by
Bodley
in
1862
and
the
enlarged
"new"
church
being
by
Burges
and
completed
in
1893
after
his
death.
It
is
known
as
"the
cathedral
of
the
backstreets"
for
its
astounding
architecture
in
the
style
of
Amiens
Cathedral
and
others.
This
Grade
one
listed
building's
main
claim
to
fame
is
the
stunning
Pre-Raphaelite
glass
by
Wiliiam
Morris,
Burne
-Jones,
Rossetti,
Philip
Webb
and
others.
I
recommend
a
visit
on
Saturday
between
10
am
and
4pm;
preceded
by
a
superb
fried
breakfast
in
the
adjacent
hall
between
9am
and
10.30
am
