A big, beautiful, peaceful church just a short walk from Harrogate town centre. Seems to have a lively programme of music and cultural events, but sadly didn’t get to enjoy these on our short visit.
Beautiful church, stunning inside and amazing acoustics for the concert we attended.
Brilliant art installation Gaia inside an amazing church.
The Director of Music and Organist are very friendly and had a nice chat with them afterwards. The service in Anglo Catholic style was well done also though the sermon was a vague musing on the fact God does not always answer prayer in the way we expect delivered in a languid drawl by the Rector. He sounded like he’d rather be somewhere else: nothing profound there! Also nobody spoke to me afterwards at coffee in the side chapel as a visitor so after standing around like a spare part for a while I left. Harrogate strikes me as the Reigate of the North. Perhaps I did not look prosperous enough. Anyway a generous 3 stars as my musical brothers were really top blokes and gave me a good lowdown on the (sadly mothballed) Harrison and Harrison Pipe Organ and the new digital.
cool to see this building amazing inside
