St-Martin-in-the-fields

The earliest extant reference to the church is from 1222. The church was rebuilt by Henry VIII in 1542 to avoid plague victims from the area having to pass through his Palace of Whitehall. At this time, it was literally “in the fields” in an isolated position between the cities of Westminster and London.

The church is also known for its regular lunchtime and evening concerts: many ensembles perform there, including the Academy of St-Martin-in-the-fields, which was co-founded by Sir neville Mariner and John Churchill, a former Master of Music at St Martin’s. There is a popular café in the crypt, where jazz concerts are held. All profits from this go to the work of the church. We had lunch in the crypt. it’s not as creepy as it might sound. We also attended on of their free afternoon concerts. Quite enjoyable.

The Collegiate Church of St Peter at Westminster, which is almost always referred to popularly and informally as Westminster Abbey, is a large, mainly Gothic church. It is the traditional place of coronation and burial site for English, later British and later still (and currently) monarchs of the Commonwealth Realms. It briefly held the status of a cathedral from 1546 to 1556, and is a Royal Peculiar.

The burial sites were the interesting part of the visit. Mary Queens of Scots now rests beside Elizabeth I who had signed her execution.

Dulwich Picture Gallery is located in Dulwich, South London. It opened to the public in 1817 and was designed by the Regency architect Sir John Sloane. His design was recognized for its innovative and influential method of illumination for viewing the art. It is the oldest public art gallery in England and was made an independent charitable trust in 1994.

Until then, the gallery was part of the College of God’s Gift, a charitable foundation established by the actor, entrepreneur and philanthropist edward Allyn in the early 17th century. The acquisition of artworks by its founders and bequests from its many patrons resulted in Dulwich Picture Gallery housing one of the country’s finest collections of Old Masters , especially rich in French, Italian and Spanish Baroque paintings, and in British portraits from the Tudor era to the 19th century.
