St Mary-le-Bow was rebuilt by Christopher Wren after the Great Fire of London in 1666.

The tower was left standing and restoration of the church began in 1956. Historic England is the public body that champions and protects England's historic places. © Historic England Archive

Standing tall in the City of London, this iconic parish church has weathered both natural and man-made disasters throughout its storied history. Rebuilt by the renowned architect Christopher Wren after the devastating Great Fire of London in 1666, St Mary-le-Bow faced another harrowing test during World War II. On that fateful day of May 10th, 1941, incendiary bombs rained down upon the cityscape, causing a catastrophic fire that brought the bells crashing to the ground. The toll on this historic landmark was immense. Yet, even amid such loss and destruction, hope prevailed. As depicted in this photograph taken by Charles William Prickett, we witness a post-war landscape where remnants of bomb damage surround St Mary-le-Bow Church. The tower stands defiantly against all odds while restoration efforts commence from 1956 onwards. This image serves as a poignant reminder not only of wartime resilience but also showcases how communities can come together to rebuild what was lost. It symbolizes strength and determination in face of adversity—a testament to human perseverance.
