London Fields and John Hayward Murals

WALK on Sunday 11 October 2009

Follow an ancient track out of Hackney to hear about the ‘common land’ of London Fields, one of London’s few remaining Lidos, the first Jews in Hackney, 18th century asylums for the mentally sick, the Regent’s Canal, Broadway Market, speculative building in the 1940s ending up in St Michael and All Angels, Grade 2 listed, to see the striking murals painted by John Hayward in 1961-2.

Bring your shillings and pounds to buy tea and cake at the Church. All money goes towards the fundraising appeal to restore the church.
