This is a book about secret London churches. That is to say that
their locations are not secret and each of them in this book has
directions to the nearest Tube station if you wish to visit them.
But they are not the famous London Cathedrals. Within these pages
you will not find St. Paul's Cathedral, Westminster Abbey,
Southwark Cathedral, Westminster Cathedral and others. But you will
find a wealth of smaller and larger churches around Central London
and in particular, the City of London. Each of them has something
interesting to tell us, whether it is some unusual piece of history
attached to it or the final resting place of someone famous. There
are also photographs illustrating each of the churches featured
here. London has a colourful history stretching back over two
thousand years and our stories will cover the Roman occupation, the
Saxons, the Great Fire of London, the Great Plague and the Blitz.
Throughout all these periods these churches were not only places of
worship but were also witness to events and to the people who lived
during these times. They were baptised, married and buried at these
sites. Churches are constant witnesses to our history. We walk by
them without much more than a glance. I hope that by the end of
this book you will appreciate the secrets they are only too willing
to give up if we only take the time to look. Fully illustrated.
