When I worked in the City my favourite was St Mary le Bow at Cheapside.

How I neglected London when I lived there for the first half of my life. Now, at 84 and living in a city only founded in 1869, in Australia, I so miss civilised architecture. I am amazed at the number of city churches and can’t help wondering if they are all still in use?

Now aged 92, and living in Glasgow, yet every time that I read one of your photo-essays on the City, like today’s, I itch to satisfy my yearning to be footloose and fancy-free in London town, just as I was as an unappreciative teenager. Sic transit gloria mundi, alas!

Beautiful atmospheric photographs, GA, balm to the soul. And these too shall become historical documents.
So sorry you, too, have suffered from a Jobsworth; picking on a quiet and honest citizen of the metropolis must have made his day; there’s nothing like an easy target for a Jobsworth!
Thank you for your wonderful website. I don’t say this enough!

Years ago, when I first discovered The Gentle Author, I recommended the blog to one of my sisters in the United States. She declared it was like taking a vacation every day. Today’s post reminded me of that yet again – because looking at these wonderful pictures of beautiful old churches, whose names recall so much history, it was my daily vacation. Thank you.
