Have you noticed there are no windows on ground level? Architect #JamesGibbs noted that noise generated by the horse drawn carriages in the heart of the Greater London Metropolis would be a problem, so he fitted #StMaryLeStrand with #ChurchWindows on the upper level of the #Nave only, to stop street noise entering the church. This #BaroqueInterior is beautiful & also practical!

Framed by #PaintedPanels & ultramarine #ApseWindows look at the #Carvings, #Jacobite Symbolism & Iconography inside the apse & admire the decorative #PlasterworkCeiling in white & gold above.
