We are transforming St Mary Abbots Church, so it can continue to support the heart of Kensington for generations to come. Once we have built the kitchen and toilets (including disabled and baby changing facilities) the church will be a more comfortable place to worship, a more welcoming place to visit and a practical place to gather the Kensington community.
Our magnificent font will be repaired and re-positioned, as befits the importance of baptism and the prominent role of children within our church. An area will be cleared, creating opportunities to gather after services and an accessible, single level, space for use by other groups in the Kensington community. We will also create a glass lobby at the West Door, keeping the wooden doors open, bringing in daylight and showing our doors are open to all.
