EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the West View of the Old Church of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, a significant piece of London's architectural history. Constructed in 1542 and later expanded in 1607, this iconic church stood proudly until its unfortunate demolition in 1721. The image allows us to glimpse into the past, capturing the grandeur and elegance of this magnificent structure. The photograph is taken from "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, and Its Places" a publication by Edward Walford that delves into the rich heritage of Westminster and its surrounding areas. Through this lens, we are transported back to a time when St. Martin's-in-the-Fields graced the cityscape with its towering spire and intricate clock tower. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of Britain's deep-rooted Christian traditions and religious devotion. The church symbolizes not only faith but also community gathering spaces where people sought solace or celebrated important milestones. Thanks to Heritage Images' preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this historical gem despite its physical absence from today's bustling Trafalgar Square location. This remarkable print invites us to reflect on our connection with architecture throughout different centuries while marveling at how our surroundings have evolved over time.
