Event Description

Christ Church Southgate and the Minchenden Oak Garden form part of Open House London.

Explore our fine Grade II* listed church, designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the early English architectural style. Absorb the detail in our collection of beautiful Pre-Raphaelite stained glass windows spanning 50 years of output from the studio of William Morris & Company, including designs by Burne Jones, Philip Webb and Rossetti, including a unique “self portrait” of William Morris himself.

After touring the church, please visit The Minchenden Oak Garden, next to the church, which contains one of the country’s oldest tress – an ancient pollarded oak more than 800 years old.

The weekend will conclude with a special service of Choral Evensong at 6.30pm on Sunday. All are welcome to attend – budding choristers can “Come and Sing”. 

  • Self-guided tours of Christ Church and Minchenden Oak throughout the weekend
  • Guided tours on the hour
  • Activities for children
  • “Come and Sing” Choral Evensong on Sunday at 6.30pm with our fine choir.


In 2015 we celebrate our 400th Anniversary - the Weld Chapel, the precursor to our current building, was consecrated in May 1615. Contact the Parish Office to join our mailing list to keep up to date with future events marking this special anniversary of Southgate’s Parish Church. Christ Church Southgate is Enfield's first “Inclusive Church”.
