Faith Leaders: St Pancras Old Church
Father James Elston is the leader of the Church of England congregation at St Pancras Old Church. James tells us about the beliefs and practices of the Church of England. As the priest of one of London’s most ancient churches, James talks about what role his church has in helping those in need in our society today.
This is part of a series of interviews with Faith Leaders from across Camden. Our aim is to learn about different religions and the part they play in shaping our community.

Sound Installation at Fitzrovia Chapel by Scanner
Electronic musician Scanner (otherwise known as Robin Rimbaud) is world-famous for his powerful ambient works. He is creating a new sound installation for the Fitzrovia Chapel, which used to be the chapel of the old Middlesex Hospital before it was demolished. The piece will be made of snippets of recordings from people who used to work in the hospital and will play as part of FitzFest in June.
I spoke to Scanner about the piece, the power of buildings and the changing nature of London.

The Hardy Tree
In the churchyard of St Pancras Old Church is the mysterious Hardy Tree. A proud ash tree with over a hundred gravestones studded into its roots.
The story goes that the poet Thomas Hardy was its creator, while he was a young architects assistant helping the Midland Railway company. But that’s only a story. No one can say what the true origin or import of this tree is, could it be a truly mystic tree?
