As well as providing peace for worship and reflection, the City’s churches are a rich part of its architectural heritage. This walk will show you the amazing variety of those built by Sir Christopher Wren – who rebuilt 51 churches, including St Michael Paternoster Royal (Dick Whittington’s church) and St Mary le Bow (the Cockney church) – taking in their glorious steeples and beautiful interiors as well as revealing their connections with great historical events and famous people.
