St Anne, Limehouse
One of Nicholas Hawksmoor’s major east end churches. It was built between 1714 and 1725. Gutted by fire in 1850 it was restored by Philip Hardwick and John Morris in 1850-51, Philip .C. Hardwick (son of the earlier Hardwick) 1856-57. In 1891 Arthur Blomfield undertook a remodelling of the chancel. In 1983-93 it was restored under Julian Harrap. At my 2024 visit the east window had been removed for restoration and replaced by a photo, I have included a 2012 photo to show the actual window.
St Mark, St Mark’s Square, Regents Park
Near the Regent’s Canal and the Zoo a church by Thomas Little of 1851-52, to which Blomfield added a chancel in 1890, however war damage meant that the roofs and east wall were by A.P. Knapp-Fisher and date from 1957. There are Ninian Comper altarpieces and stained glass that were added after the war, replacing damaged items by the same artist.
