Go back out

The view up the Nave on entering.
On the day I was there a very impressive flower arrangement was being made by the Altar

Visit other Churches

Looking back down, with the organ loft at the top.

Visit St Katharine Cree

The Organ Loft

Visit St James, Clerkenwell

In front of the main Nave there is another smaller one

Visit the Guild Church of St Andrew, Holborn

An Icon to one side

Visit the St Edmund, King and Martyr, Lombard Street

I've no idea about what these represent, but perhaps some more knowledgeable will tell me

Now come outside

Visit Bart's Hospital

A fascinating feature of this church is that it was an old Priory Church and I understand that this bay window was fitted, centuries ago, by the last Prior so he could watch what was going on in the Church

Visit Smithfield

Visit Charterhouse Square

Some of the columing and arching of the entrance showing the decay of the years

Visit Clerkenwell

And of an internal screen wall
