What a wonderful day of exploration and history . We must keep it sacred for future generations in every way we can.

I suspect my Huguenot ancestors went there, once upon a day.

Many of these youths later were married in Christ Church, my eldest brother Terry married there many of us have pictures in our minds eye of Christ Church like your excellent photo’s keep up the good work

As I approach from Liverpool Street Station, I can see it in the distance dominating the area, I just love it.
