St Sarkis Armenian Church

Visitors to St Sarkis Armenian Church in Kensington find a building constructed in Portland stone that follows traditional Armenian architectural style, inspired by the 13th-century bell tower of Haghpat Monastery, with three levels and a Greek-cross plan. Inside, there is a reredos with a painting of the Virgin and Child, accompanied by gilded relief angels by the Bromsgrove Guild of Applied Arts, as well as sculptures of members of the Gulbenkian family. The church also holds inscriptions dedicated to the parents of Calouste Gulbenkian and is the seat of the Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church in the United Kingdom.
