EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Historic England Archive transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Victorian London. The image showcases the magnificent St Mary Woolnoth, a historic church located on Lombard Street in the heart of the City of London. The west front of this architectural masterpiece is beautifully captured, revealing intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship. Built between 1716 and 1727 by renowned architect Nicholas Hawksmoor, St Mary Woolnoth stands as a testament to his talent and vision. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but imagine the vibrant scene that surrounded it. People dressed in their finest Victorian costumes fill the street, going about their daily lives against a backdrop of grandeur and history. St Mary Woolnoth takes its name from its founder - Wulfnoth, a Saxon noble who left an indelible mark on this iconic structure. Its significance stretches far beyond its physical beauty; it holds within its walls centuries worth of stories and memories. Thanks to York & Son's expert photography skills between 1870-1900, we are fortunate enough to have this extraordinary glimpse into our past preserved for future generations to admire. This archival gem serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and invites us to appreciate both the artistry behind such landmarks and those who came before us.
