Hallo everyone! We are delighted to continue our series of fascinating talks in the historic setting of this largely unchanged 18th century church in Whitechapel. We are also pleased to be able to live-stream the talks for those of you who are unable to get to the church or would prefer not to leave home on a wet night and sit in a hard (albeit eighteenth century) box-pew to hear the talk.

Silent Catastrophes: my recent translations of the works of WG Sebald - Jo Catling
Calling all WG Sebald fans! Working at the University of East Anglia, Dr Jo Catling is the most recent translator into English of the works of the German writer Professor WG Sebald. The latest collection of Sebald's lectures in English translation is out now. Translator Dr Catling visits us from the British Centre of Literary Translation (BCLT) at the University of East Anglia, Norwich, where Sebald taught until his untimely death in a car crash in 2001. The talk will take the form of an interview between Dr Catling and St George's Local Committee Chair Rick Jones. Waterstone's Broadgate will offer copies of the book for sale on the night.
This talk will be online via Zoom and in person at St George's. If you wish to watch online, please register here to get the Zoom link. You can also pay at the door (cash or card).

The Restoration of Sheerness Dockyard Church - Will Palin
Conservationist Will Palin (son of Michael Palin) gives an account of his latest project on the historic Thames-side church, which was devastated by a fire in 2001. It has now been meticulously restored, featuring a new roof and an imaginatively redesigned interior.
He also gives an update on his last project at 900 year old St Bart's Hospital.
