Today's random choice Hawksmoor and Head Coach CD 2022. Music to listen to whilst wandering around Milton Keynes. I had to get this as it's where I live. I have yet to wander and listen at the same time.

The wave of early CofE church building in London was propagandistic display that produced astonishing designs by and others. It was funded by a tax on increasingly used as fuel and so the white-grey favoured for these buildings was directly linked to the -- still, the properties of this stone that show so directly the effects of sunlight are intriguing, as here on Flitcroft's rebuilding of St Giles in the Fields.

In passing, out and about in Bloomsbury, saw two of my favourites. Institute of Education by 1970-76 and Patrick Hodginskon's , designed mid-60s. Seeing both in quick succession made the connections clear: each could be extended and repeated, serially, down a spine N-S. The sculptural towers are diff in form -- 'ugly', brilliantly so, in IoE -- drawing on I think.

London churches: Part of an ongoing fascination with St Mary Woolnoth, one of Hawksmoor's city churches. Small and perfectly formed but hard to photograph. That won't stop me trying though :/

London churches. It was a while before I got to see Christchurch Spitalfields, by Hawksmoor. What a feast for the eyes.

Much restored over the years but absolutely stunning.

I churchcrawl whenever I can, and the UK has a lot to go at, but a favourite of the glorious collection of London churches is St Mary Woolnoth. One of Hawksmoor's churches, a cube inside a cube. Small, perfectly formed, hard to photograph well. It has a memorial to sometime vicar John Newton who wrote Amazing Grace. He was a slave trader, then a slave and then repented. An incredible life story.
