The churches of London contain some of the greatest feats of
religious architecture in England. With iconic designs from Sir
Christopher Wren, Nicholas Hawksmoor, James Gibbs, William
Butterfield, Edwin Lutyens and many others, each one is unique and
holds its own rich history. From the iconic St Bartholomew the
Great and Christ Church Spitalfields to lesser-known gems like St
Mary Woolnoth and St. Jude’s in Hampstead Garden Suburb, this
beautifully illustrated book offers a unique look at the
architectural and cultural significance of these religious
landmarks. Â The Great Fire of London and the Blitz destroyed
many of London’s oldest churches but each time they were restored
or new ones were built in their places. From the medieval to the
modern, this book includes 40 churches from all over the city, each
one of which represents something unique about the history and
architecture of the city. Great Churches of London opens the door
to some of the greatest and grandest churches in the country. With
specially commissioned images by renowned photographer Derry Brabbs
and authoritative text by distinguished architectural historian
Marcus Binney, it shows how these sacred buildings are
intrinsically linked to our city’s identity – covering
everything from devastation and plague to arts and literature;
religion and politics to infrastructure and skylines. Whether
you're a history buff, an architecture enthusiast, or just someone
looking to discover the spiritual heart of London, this book has
something for everyone. Â
