Bow Bells

Walking around the city with my brother today we stumbled across St Mary Le Bow church which is famous for its bells. Anyone born within the sound of the bells can call themselves a 'cockney'. The church was designed by Sir Christopher Wren and though it was partly destroyed during WW2 it was rebuilt to the original design. However the interior has been redesigned with stained glass windows reflecting the history of some of the City of London churches.
