- Cover photo description:
- The Garrison Church was founded in about 1210–14 as a hospital to provide shelter and relief for the poor, and for travellers to stay. When the hospital closed in 1540, the building was adapted as an armoury and military storehouse as part of Portsmouth’s defences. Sometime in the 17th century the building became a chapel for Portsmouth’s garrison.The eminent architect George Edmund Street restored the church in the 1860s, but in 1941 incendiary bombs destroyed the nave roof. The nave survives as a graceful shell, but the chancel remains a consecrated space, with magnificent 20th-century stained glass that relates the church’s history.
