Overview

A tour of the fascinating storey of the City of London's lost churches (including sites such as St Paul's Cathedral, The Monument to the Great Fire and the ruins of St Dunstan-in-the-East) led by Dr Steve, an expert in the history of church closure. Customers will learn unique insights from research into why and how the number of City churches was reduced through fire, enemy action and deliberate pulling-down by church authorities. This tour will appeal to lovers of churches, tradition, history and those who enjoy the charm of ruined buildings. Walking at a moderate pace, sometimes through hidden alley ways and encountering some delightful green spaces in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the Square Mile, tour-goers will be left with an enhanced knowledge and fun experience.
