A new 3D map shows how waste heat from the London Underground could warm buildings across the City — including many Square Mile churches. A creative step toward a more sustainable future. 🔗 www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/3d-... #SquareMileChurches #Sustainability #CityOfLondon

Tucked just outside the old City walls, St Botolph’s Without Aldgate has been a place of welcome for centuries. One fun fact? Daniel Defoe, author of Robinson Crusoe, got married here in 1683. A little piece of literary history hidden in plain sight. 📚📖 📷Hannah Spedding

✨ Discover St Bartholomew the Great — London’s oldest parish church, founded in 1123. Hidden in Smithfield, it survived the Great Fire & the Blitz, and even starred in Four Weddings, Shakespeare in Love & The Crown. A true medieval gem in the City.

Discover Hannah Brace’s remarkable story! After her husband’s death in 1674, she took over their glazing business, helping rebuild London after the Great Fire. Her work on St Bride’s Church highlights the vital but overlooked role of women in history.

🐶⛪ Did you know? St Mary Abchurch once had dog kennels built into the high pews on the south side! Until 1957, churchgoers could bring their furry friends along for services. 📷 Hannah Spedding #LondonHistory #London #SquareMile #Heritage #ChurchHistory
