Saint Bartholomew the Great

Saint Bartholomew the Great is one of London’s oldest churches. It was founded as an Augustinian Priory in 1123 and has been in continuous use since 1143. It is an Anglican/Episcopal Church in that part of London known as the City, and I visited on Saturday to see a performance of T.S. Eliot’s play Murder in the Cathedral, about the murder of Thomas Becket.

The church is beautiful and has featured in films and TV shows such as Shakespeare in Love and The Hollow Crown.
