St Botolph-without-Aldersgate the current building dates from 1780's the original building is thought to have been built around 1050 unlike many of the surrounding buildings managed to escape the fire of London.
We were surprised by the quality of light particularly coming through the very top windows. The tiled floor was stunning and detailed ceiling off set the dark wooden columns and seating.
The visit has definitely helped us solidify our ideas with the possibility of using both inside and outside spaces.
Last week we had a meeting with Richard Bray the Curate there to discuss our ideas and make ourselves known to the church and to take a close look at the space.
We now find ourselves writing another proposal so everyone concerned is kept in the creative loop and managed to collect a few images along the way.
It was such a surprise from the outside as it looks a little unapproachable with grids up at the window however, once you step inside it's a completely different story.

The organ was built in 1778 and is the only green organ surviving in the city.
