Edenbridge’s Parish Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, has a new creative lighting scheme. The scheme was designed between architect Robin Nugent, Church Project Liaison Officer David Brooke, Fr Stephen Mitchell, SSC and the PCC.

This scheme was unique because this Kent Church is itself unique. The Church features two naves, chancels and three altars. Because these are used for different services, the lighting scheme was complicated. The PCC therefore asked architect Robin Nugent how best to clarify the use of the interior space to ensure sufficient flexibility to meet each different use.

Robin Nugent says, “I decided that the best way to achieve hierarchy of space was via lighting. The incumbent lighting was deteriorating and obviously had to be replaced. It was very cumbersome and no longer had a viable strategy. Clearly, light could be used to create a precedent of internal areas as well as to enhance the eclectic mix of events held at the Church, which range from traditional services through to concerts and meetings.”
