thanks again for these wonderful tales. i taught in the east end donkey’s years ago. i took a party of boys by bus to play football in deepest bow and all was well until we saw the sign ‘bow locks’. it was the only time i thought we’d taught them to read too well.

Thank you for compiling this record. My mother’s family belonged to the Church pre and post war and were involved with rebuilding after bomb damage. My mother knew and admired George Lansbury. My parents were married there 3 Nov 1945 and I was baptised August 1950 in that wonderful font.

A heart warming story about another much loved East End landmark, saved by the kindness, care and skills of the volunteers and craftsmen/women.
Very well done to you all.

I am sure that these worthy volunteers who have undertook to get this restoration project completed will be blessed and should be congratulated by everyone who has a voice to do so. Congratulations also go to the many expert Craftsmen who have carried out the work.
Long may it stand as a bastion to our faith.
My prayers are raised for you all.

Beautiful. Will add to my pending Church day in search of Thomas Hardy at St Pancreas Old Church. What an achievement for a band of volunteers in Bow. An emotive new fabric to delight worshipers, visitors and the community.
