EDITORS COMMENTS
St Bride's Church, located on Fleet Street in London, is a historic place of worship that holds significant cultural and religious importance. This photograph, taken by S O Gorse around 1920-1940, captures the interior beauty of the church before it was sadly destroyed during the Blitz of 1940. The church, which dates back to the 11th century, was rebuilt in 1671-8 following the Great Fire of London, under the designs of Sir Christopher Wren. The interior depicted in this image is a testament to the intricate craftsmanship and architectural brilliance of that time. The high ceilings, ornate columns, and intricate stonework create a sense of grandeur and awe. The church, also known as the "Journalists' Church," has long been associated with the media industry in London. Many journalists, writers, and publishers have worshipped here over the centuries, making it a unique and important part of London's cultural heritage. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the history and beauty of St Bride's Church before its destruction. Today, the church stands rebuilt, continuing to serve as a place of worship and a symbol of resilience and renewal in the heart of London.
