St Margaret was an ancient parish in the City and Liberty of Westminster and the county of Middlesex. It included the core of modern Westminster, including the Palace of Westminster and the area around, but not including Westminster Abbey. In 1727 it was divided into St Margaret's and St John's, to coincide with the building of the Church of St John the Evangelist, constructed by the Commission for Building Fifty New Churches in Smith Square to meet the demands of the growing population, but there continued to be a single vestry for the parishes of St Margaret and St John. This was reformed in 1855 by the Metropolis Management Act, and the two parishes formed the Westminster District until 1887. In 1889 St Margaret and St John became part of the County of London. The vestry was abolished in 1900, to be replaced by Westminster City Council, but St Margaret and St John continued to have a nominal existence until 1922.
Since its design, the typeface has been strongly associated with computers—especially in the late 1960s and early-to-mid-1970s. It is used frequently to indicate computer involvement in television series, films, books, and comics.

'Into the Hands of Sinners'
Tenebrae opens Holy Week Festival 2021 with this moving sequence of music and readings for Palm Sunday. Beginning with Weelkes’ celebratory anthem Hosanna to the Son of David, this programme takes us from Christ’s entry into Jerusalem through the Crucifixion and to the sealing of his tomb. Well-loved Renaissance gems such as Byrd’s Civitas sancti tui sit alongside lesser-known works such as Casals’ dramatic setting of O vos omnes in this beautiful candlelit performance, with readings by Rev. Graham Buckle and Helena Bickley-Percival.

Cannadine also takes viewers on a tour of the tombs, noting the juxtaposition of Winston Churchill's tomb and the Unknown Warrior's monument, and discussing how modes of commemoration and celebration continue to evolve in the 21st century.

'Into the Hands of Sinners'
Tenebrae opens Holy Week Festival 2021 with this moving sequence of music and readings for Palm Sunday. Beginning with Weelkes’ celebratory anthem Hosanna to the Son of David, this programme takes us from Christ’s entry into Jerusalem through the Crucifixion and to the sealing of his tomb. Well-loved Renaissance gems such as Byrd’s Civitas sancti tui sit alongside lesser-known works such as Casals’ dramatic setting of O vos omnes in this beautiful candlelit performance, with readings by Rev. Graham Buckle and Helena Bickley-Percival.

Guide me, O thou great Redeemer,
Pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but thou art mighty,
Hold me with thy powerful hand:
Bread of heaven,
Feed me till I want no more.
Open now the crystal fountain
Whence the healing stream doth flow;
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through:
Strong deliverer,
Be thou still my strength and shield.
When I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside;
Death of death, and hell's Destruction
Land me safe on Canaan's side:
Songs of praises
I will ever give to thee.
Words: William Williams (1717-91)
trans. Peter Williams (1727-96) and others
Tune: Cwm Rhondda
John Hughes (1873-1932)
arr. Simon Johnson (b.1975)
St Margaret was an ancient parish in the City and Liberty of Westminster and the county of Middlesex. It included the core of modern Westminster, including the Palace of Westminster and the area around, but not including Westminster Abbey. In 1727 it was divided into St Margaret's and St John's, to coincide with the building of the Church of St John the Evangelist, constructed by the Commission for Building Fifty New Churches in Smith Square to meet the demands of the growing population, but there continued to be a single vestry for the parishes of St Margaret and St John. This was reformed in 1855 by the Metropolis Management Act, and the two parishes formed the Westminster District until 1887. In 1889 St Margaret and St John became part of the County of London. The vestry was abolished in 1900, to be replaced by Westminster City Council, but St Margaret and St John continued to have a nominal existence until 1922.
