St Anne's, Limehouse, Hawksmoor's handsome church. Part to the 50 churches Act project - mysterys and bomb shelters. Many thanks to Philip Reddaway for showing me round.
Nice video, brings back sweet memories. St Anne's is perhaps my second favourite Hawksmoore Church, after St. George's Bloomsbury. But why do you have to disturb those who repose in the crypt? This is their church much more than it is ours. Just renovate their family tombs and let them rest. They hold this hallowed space in mortmain.
God preserve us from 'flexible seating'! Pews are so much more dignified than untidy chairs. So many churches have been spoilt by their removal and to say they aren't original is a red herring, they are a lot more appropriate to the architecture than chairs. And the orange ones are just hideous.
