LAMBETH PALACE Library has released a new collection of more than 1500 images from the Church Informa­­tion Office archives.

The images were selected by the archi­­­vist Krzysztof Adamiec from a group of more than 9000 black and white photo­graphs uncovered in the Church of England Record Centre in 2013.

The photographs were taken in the 1960s by W. R. Hawes, who was granted exclusive access to events at Westminster Abbey and elsewhere. It can be accessed here.
