EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, taken in the year 1875, offers a glimpse into the past of St Mary Magdalen Church in Bermondsey, London. The Anglican church, dedicated to St Mary Magdalen, is located in the historic borough of Southwark, and its present building dates back to the late 17th century. The beautiful structure, which is Grade II listed, is a testament to the rich history and architectural heritage of the area. The church, with its distinctive bell tower and intricately designed façade, stands proudly amidst the bustling streets of Bermondsey. Its parish extends as far as the Thames, making it an integral part of the community for centuries. The present building, which replaced an earlier structure destroyed by fire in 1676, is a fine example of English Baroque architecture. The image, taken in 1875, captures the church in all its glory, with the sun casting a warm glow over the red-brick walls and the surrounding trees providing a picturesque backdrop. The scene is one of tranquility and peace, a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city that lies just beyond the church gates. St Mary Magdalen Church continues to be an important spiritual and community hub in Bermondsey, serving its parishioners and welcoming visitors from far and wide. This photograph, taken over a century ago, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing us with a deeper appreciation for the history and beauty of this remarkable church.
