It’s rare for me to be anywhere near the City at the weekend, but, since I was, I thought I would explore its northern section round Guildhall, which is much less familiar to me.
I started with St. Anne and St. Agnes, what’s left of a small Wren church designed in 1680, maybe with help from Robert Hooke, designed on the model of Greek Cross and damaged by bombing in December 1940:-
An odd capital on a café next door:-
Nice plaques delineating the parish boundaries:-
A sign in the old churchyard of St. Peter Cheap, burnt in the Fire and not rebuilt:-
And the railings which date from 1712:-
A sign for an old Lyons café in Throgmorton Street:-
A sign for an old stockbrokers in the entry to Austin Friars:-
And the Chartered Accountants Hall in Moorgate Place, designed by John Belcher in 1890:-
Your attention to detail is exemplary and inspiring, and yet another area in which you outstrip the wonderful Pevser.
