## Resource

St. Stephen’s Church in Stockbridge, a historic Fringe staple since 1828 and once a dream project for former ballet star Peter Schauffus, is now on the market—ready for a new steward to carry forward its legacy. Schauffus, who transformed it into a world-class arts venue, admits he’s become more landlord than artist, and now seeks someone who’ll honor its neoclassical grandeur, Ian McKellen Theatre, and community roots. Priced around £3 million (though negotiable), the sale includes a key condition: ongoing public access. Recent history adds emotional weight—a Holocaust memorial stone for Jane Haining was unveiled outside in 2025, underscoring the building’s layered past.
