St Mary Aldermary, City of London

St Mary Aldermary, City of London

By girlbridgingthegap | 21 July, 2023

This church was rebuilt after the Great Fire of London when it was severely damaged. For Wren, the Gothic style makes this one of his more unique designs. I was particularly intrigued by the tower, which retains the blockiness of many of Wren’s churches yet is mellowed out by the classic Gothic arches of the windows and octagonal turrets. I’ve chosen to sketch that here.
