Box Pews

Paid an unexpected visit to a local church today to sound it out for an exhibition space. I am not a frequenter of religious buildings for the purpose of worship, in fact I was last in her more than 15 years ago.

Slightly more mature in years now, I could really see something amazing about the place - it is the only surviving church of the Elizabethan period left in London and is quite amazing. Lots of Tudor/Elizabethan brickwork and if one were into religion I should think this place would make you very reverent (and have a very cold bottom!).

I was intrigued by these box pews which are a Victorian addition, soon to be removed apparently in favour of traditional pews.

They hold restoration music events here, and it is the perfect setting for it.
