Gatehouse To Church Of St Bartholomew The Great

Founded in 1123, by jester-turned-monk Rahere, this Norman church is one of the oldest in London. It was damaged in the Dissolution but managed to escape both the Great Fire and the Blitz. This is a Grade I listed building. Tourists are welcome when services are not in progress and are charged an ad

mission fee (which does not apply to those coming to pray or use the café).
