Changes to the designs for the #BaroqueInterior inside #StMaryLeStrand were triggered by the change of #RoyalHouse when #QueenAnne, who was the last in the line of Stuart monarchs, died in 1714. The #HouseOfStuart favoured the extravagant Catholic #Baroque style, whereas the new incoming #HouseOfHanover favoured a more restrained #Presbyterian #Palladian style.
