It was indeed a very memorable event.  Three people speaking from totally different perspectives about St. Anne’s Limehouse.  Hélène Binet who photographed the Hawksmoor churches so beautifully for the Venice Biennale in 2012 – as it turned out at some speed, although one would not guess this from the calm formality of her 4×5 black-and-white compositions.  Owen Hopkins whose book From the Shadows appeared ten years ago and spoke about the alchemy of Hawksmoor: the lime of Limehouse; the coal of the coal tax; the whiteness of the Portland stone.  And Iain Sinclair spoke incredibly memorably of his experience of mowing the grass in the churchyard, the tramps sleeping in the windows, and his sense of the potency and personality of Hawksmoor, the underdog, whose imagination was unleashed by the opportunity to redesign a portion of a new city.
