Fascinating church in Greenwich known for its association with composer Thomas Tallis, architect Nicholas Hawksmoor, and St Alfege, former Archbishop of Canterbury, who was martyred at the location.

Muy cuidada

What a wonderful church with such a rich history. Quite a few of my ancestors lived in the area and were baptised here. It's a beatiful place to sit down and put your cares to one side for a short while. The church often has lunchtime concerts organised so it's worth checking before you visit to see if anything is going on.
