Marfs @marthaj.bsky.social · 22/05/2026I went to St Dunstan in the East; a little ruined church incongruously sandwiched between a load of banks near London Bridge. Built by the Saxons, rebuilt by St Dunstan in 950 AD, then again by Sir Christopher Wren in 1697. Well worth a squiz! Utterly delightful. 010
