St Matthew’s Church: How a Housing Charity Brought it Back to Life

St Matthews Church (1870) is a Grade II listed building and major Hull landmark adjacent to the Anlaby Road Flyover.

Built of creamy white brick with subtle contrasting bands of red brick and stone dressings in an Early English style, it is the oldest and largest of the three remaining Victorian Anglican church buildings in Hull, designed by Adams and Kelly who had worked with leading Gothic Revival architect G.E. Street.

Following its closure in 2013, after almost 145 years of serving the local community, it was acquired in 2018 by local housing charity Giroscope, who embarked on an ambitios renovation project transforming St Matthews into a one-of-a-kind, multifunctional community and enterprise space.

Join us for a short presentation and panel discussion with Q&A. on the St Matthews Church project offering first hand insight, from initial ideas to completion.

The Panel will comprise of:
