St Michael’s is a beautiful and historic building, parts of which date back to the twelfth century. It was extensively remodelled in the mid-Victorian era by the church architect George Street, and amongst many other interesting features, it boasts a fine Arts and Crafts stained glass window by William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones, beautiful sculptures, and the ornate Jacobean tomb of the merchant and royal jeweller Peter Vanlore.

There will also be self-guided tours of the church and an opportunity to explore the churchyard with its monuments to several notable Reading residents, including the Blagrave family. Refreshments will be available.
