St Vedast alias Foster, City of London

By Sir Christopher Wren 1695-1701, but using some of the fabric of previous churches. The spire, which has been attributed to Hawksmoor dates from 1709-1712.  War damage meant a restoration in a collegiate style by Stephen Dykes-Bower between 1953 and 1963 with many of the furnishings coming from lost city churches
