In the year 1647 Thomas Winder, a grocer of London, instituted a sermon to be preached at the church of St Michael the Archangel, Warfield, on a Sunday in the proximity of Guy Fawkes Day.

This tradition has continued and evolved for several centuries. Each year we invite an eminent speaker to address us on an area of contemporary concern.

Last year, the lecture was given by Richard Harvey who spoke on the subject of "A Christian response to conflict in the Middle East". Richard is a Jewish disciple of Jesus who, for many years, has been involved with reconciliation efforts with Palestinian Christians.

We had plans in place for a Winder Lecture 2025 but, unfortunately, we have had to cancel it because the lecturer's personal circumstances have changed and he is no longer able to come.
