City Churches guided walk

City Churches East of the Monument- this is a guided two hour walk by Lionel

Thursday, October 29th

10.45 am meet at Monument Station, Fish Street Hill entrance.

Earlier walks looked at City of London churches near St Paul’s Cathedral. Now we

head east. During the Great Fire of London in 1666, initially the wind was blowing

from the direction of the Tower. Some eastern churches were destroyed and later

rebuilt by the team headed by Sir Christopher Wren, but quite a few escaped the

flames. In these cases, 17th century-style classical reconstruction didn’t take place,

churches often have more individual designs, and some are older. As before, the

walk will include viewing of several buildings plus, if possible, short visits inside one

or two.
