Cheapside, London, The Crypt, St. Mary Le-Bow Church

From Wikipedia: Considered the second most important church in the City of London after St Paul’s Cathedral, St-Mary-le-Bow was one of the first churches to be rebuilt by Christopher Wren. The current building was built to the designs of Wren between 1671 and 1673; the 223-foot (68 m) steeple was completed in 1680.  In 1914, a stone from the crypt of St Mary-le-Bow church was placed in Trinity Church, New York.  This unused London Stereoscopic Company card, heavily aged and as atmospheric as its subject, shows the centre transept of the Norman crypt, A.D. 1090.  Grade: 2
