Staged at the brand’s historic St James Road headquarters in Northampton – the site where all production still takes place – the initiative uses a photographic campaign to retrace the label’s story from 1873 to the present day.Among the notable works featured are a delicately hand‑embroidered women’s shoe from 1900, a perforated suede Derby from 1922, and the celebrated Consul model, first tested in 1939 and officially introduced in 1945, which became a favorite among British politicians.Other highlights include the traditional Ghillie brogue from 1930, designed to be worn with kilts, and the Shanghai monkstrap from 1929, distinguished by its unique sole spelling out the company name. The archive also showcases playful experiments such as the bold 1971 logo campaign and whimsical designs like the 1950s Fantasy pumps with black suede ruffles.Rather than presenting a strict timeline, Church’s Chapters highlights unexpected treasures and iconic designs that have shaped Church’s identity, offering a fresh perspective on its craftsmanship, style, and innovation. Each piece is presented not only as footwear but as a cultural symbol, underscoring the brand’s ability to anticipate shifts in fashion and society.The project extends beyond footwear to encompass catalogues, advertising materials, and tools that shaped customer experiences, such as the 1960s foot‑measuring device and the 1887 Church’s Almanac, which doubled as a blotting book and catalogue.
