EDITORS COMMENTS
The Parish Church of Alhallows the Great in Thames Street, captured in this stunning print by Benjamin Cole, takes us back to 1772. This architectural masterpiece stood proudly on Upper Thames Street in London, a testament to the city's rich history. Originally built during the 17th century, All-Hallows-the-Great underwent a remarkable transformation after being ravaged by the devastating Great Fire of London in 1666. The renowned architect Sir Christopher Wren was commissioned to rebuild it into a magnificent structure that would inspire awe for centuries to come. Cole's engraving beautifully showcases the church's exterior, highlighting its intricate details and grandeur. The monochrome palette adds an air of timelessness and allows us to appreciate every line and curve with clarity. Sadly, this iconic symbol of British Christianity met its demise in 1894 when it was demolished. However, through prints like these, we can still marvel at its splendor and imagine what life must have been like during those times. As we gaze upon this historic image, let us remember the significance of Alhallows the Great – not just as a religious institution but also as a cultural landmark that shaped London's landscape. It stands as a reminder of our country's architectural heritage and serves as an inspiration for future generations.
