NOVEMBER 29TH TUESDAY DECEMBER 8TH THURSDAY & 15TH THURSDAY
CITY CHURCHES & MUSIC
Before the Great Fire in 1666 there were ninety-seven parish churches within the walls of the City of London. Fifty-one were rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren. Today a mere thirty-eight survive & each one is worthy of a visit. The walk will take us into some of those close to St Paul’s cathedral. Along the way we will see where others stood & the remains of those not rebuilt following the destruction of the Blitz. A church whose bells are part of a well known nursery rhyme, Agatha Christie’s parish church & one where the heart of a queen is buried. We may ascend to a view of London on a par with the Dome of St Paul’s. We will finish in one of the churches for a free concert.

MONTHLY MEANDERS IN LONDON
with SARAH FORDHAM
Each month I lead an historical walk around a different area of London looking at both well known and less familiar buildings. The hidden streets, squares and houses behind the famous facades are intriguing especially when accompanied by tales of those who have lived and worked in them.
