Edinburgh
From its towering campanile to its intimate cloistered courtyard, a little bit of rural Italy in the heart of literary Morningside. St Peter’s was built especially for Father John Gray (former aesthetic poet and associate of Mallarmé, Rimbaud, Verlaine, Wilde and Beardsley) by his literary patron Marc-André Raffalovich, in 1907. The work of Sir Robert Lorimer (champion of the “Arts and Crafts” movement) this Grade A listed building remains a repository of exquisite metalwork, woodcarving, paintings, statuary and stained glass.
For Doors Open Days there will be guides situated around the Church to answer questions and talk about anything of interest. A rolling slideshow of images will take place in our parish room where there will be tea, coffee and cakes provided.
There will be tours that begin in the courtyard on the hour at 1pm, 2pm, 3pm and 4pm.
