Volunteers in action - Old Royal Naval College and Leighton House Museum

Greeting and guiding at the newly restored 19th century home of Lord Leighton.

This church is just behind the Bank of England and was designed by Christopher Wren and built in 1683-92 after the Great Fire, on the site of a previous church, first mentioned in 1183.

The furnishings are particularly fine, with magnificent woodwork - particularly the Wren chancel screen - one of only two by Wren in the City. The font has some claim to be by Grinling Gibbons and there is a fine marble bust by Joseph Nollekens of 1795.
