One of the most beautiful, historic and mysterious objects in Reading, Berkshire. Usually it’s closedown, but sometimes it’s open on Wednesday mornings. There’s a community of people who attend this church on a regular basis. You might be able to get in touch with them and maybe try to get in to see the beauty from the inside and lift up your spirit ❤️
