St. Mary-le-bow Church

By Cassidy Young

The St. Mary-le-Bow Church is a building in Cheapside with a beautiful interior. While its facade doesn't appear as stunning, the inside is very impressive. 

De Saussure says that "the church of St. Mary-le-Bow in Cheapside is one of the finest in London, and has the most remarkable peal of bells in England" (p. 78).  He obviously thought very highly of the church, considering he spared it compliments even after he had just seen the gorgeous St. Paul's cathedral. 

St. Mary-le-Bow is still in use today, and has one of the most beautiful interiors that I've ever seen.
