Visit Lambeth Palace

05/02/2021

Founded in 1197, Lambeth Palace garden covers just over 10 acres and is one of the oldest gardens in England.

Set in the extraordinary micro-climate of central London, species native to England and plants from all over the world thrive in the gardens; tended to with love, care, and expertise by our Head Gardener, Nick Stewart, and his team.

With the gardens seen here, sparkling in the winter sun, we can’t wait to welcome the public back to enjoy this wonderful and unique space in the coming months.

This Christmas Eve, we look back to the spectacular Ronald McDonald House Charity Christmas Concert, held at Lambeth Palace in early December.

The socially distanced concert, “A Starry Night at Lambeth Palace”, featured incredible performances from the English National Opera Choir, the Male London Welsh Rugby Choir, world renowned clarinettist Emma Johnson MBE, and soprano singer Alexandra Kennedy. There were also sketches from the superb artistic group Chimes for Children.

We very much look forward to welcoming back events that are as bright and successful as this to Lambeth Palace in 2021, and wish you a very Merry Christmas.

Last week, the Archbishop welcomed the Lambeth Palace Volunteers for the first ever Virtual Volunteer Carol Service in the Crypt Chapel, followed by afternoon tea in the exquisite State Drawing Room.

Though the volunteers were scattered across the country, it was noted throughout how intimate and touching the Service was for all, and the individually packaged afternoon tea hampers, prepared by the wonderful Palace chefs and delivered to each volunteer, gave a real sense of shared joy.

Such a wonderful thought that the palace continues to be a ‘hive’ of activity and nature has regained custody of our city.
Regram: @bstreetbees “In contrast to the lock-down, socially-distanced human race, our honeybees have got off to a flying start this year. The green-marked queens which hatched last year are vigorously leading that charge - and they love laying their eggs on freshly-drawn, wax comb.”

As #womenshistorymonth draws to a close we thought we would reflect on some of Lambeth Palace’s strong female influences.

This portrait of Louise Creighton (1850-1936) by Glyn Warren Philpot hangs in Lambeth Palace. The title of the painting ‘Louise Creighton, Wife of Mandell Creighton, Bishop of London’ does not do justice to Louise Creighton’s character or legacy. In 1885, Creighton founded and was the first president of the National Union of Women Workers, its purpose was to co-ordinate the voluntary efforts of women across Great Britain and to "promote sympathy of thought and purpose among the women of Great Britain and Ireland".

Creighton was a popular author, particularly of historical biographies and stories for children including the successful "Child's First History of England".
In later life Creighton wrote on historical and socio-political topics, becoming an influential advocate for Women's Suffrage and social reform, as well as an activist for greater representation of women in society, including in politics and within the Church of England.

As #womenshistorymonth draws to a close we thought we would reflect on some of Lambeth Palace’s strong female influences.
Audrey Heaton (1926-2012), Under Cook and then Head Cook at Lambeth Palace from 1959-1974.

Audrey served under Archbishops Fisher and Ramsey and her time at Lambeth Palace is chronicled in her published diaries ‘Burnt the Peas whilst Washing the Cherubs’ compiled by Jenny de Robeck.

Audrey’s diaries show that her life at Lambeth Palace, and in fact her whole life, was truly remarkable and dedicated to hard work, and the devoted service of God and her fellow man - what better influence could we ask for here at Lambeth Palace?

Archbishop of Canterbury

In this climate of fear, let’s remember the example of the Good Samaritan. It reminds us about caring for others and noticing those who are in distress - even if they are people who are often invisible to us.

Archbishop John Sentamu and I have written this article about praying and helping others:

This week we've lit up Lambeth Palace red in solidarity with our persecuted Christian sisters and brothers around the world.

We stand too with all other people persecuted for their beliefs.

As we approach Advent, we pray for Christ's peace on earth and freedom of religion for all.
