One can feel and even smell the age of its interior, and step back in time there to reflect on Pepys and his legacy. I wonder when — or if? — the Service will resume? Thank you to the Gentle
Author for these evocative photos, and for my daily slice of London life.

We used Pepy’s diary to help interpret a 17th century lifestyle.
This article was amazing to see the church he worshipped in and where he was buried. Thanks.

GA, thank you for that charming excursion to the church of St. Olave’s where Samuel Peyps worshipped. He is one of my favorite figures in British history.

If I were taking my usual June pilgrimage to London this year, that church would definitely be on my list. But, alas, I will not be going this year. Glad to see that the church is in such good repair.

Then I could rescue wasted days of youth that might have been used to explore such sites and prospects. Alas! Gone and never to be again! But all thanks to the Gentle Author for his unmatched efforts and for displaying the charms and history of London so attractively.
