8. St Edmund King and Martyr

Took a bus over to Bank and walked down to St. Edmund. It's down busy Lombard Street but I found a corner where I could perch. Was it a cold day? Maybe that's why the drawing is weaker than the others. Or maybe it's because I was rushing - no bike, using buses, worrying about getting back to work.
Unusually, the church has it's altar at the north end which gives it a N/S axis. It's hemmed into the heart of the financial district. It's now a spirituality centre, whatever that means.
Wren and Robert Hooke designed the tower to look like a lighthouse with flaming urns at each corner alluding to the great fire.

Written long after doing the drawing.
