Founded in 1123, austerely beautiful and hidden in the middle of Smithfield, Great St Bart’s is one of London’s oldest surviving churches. With sumptuous interior decorations and beautifully formed romanesque vaulted ceilings, it has appeared in Fours Weddings and a Funeral, Shakespeare In Love, Sherlock Holmes,Jude, The Golden Age, Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves and a host of other award winning films and TV specials. A superb location for drawing architectural perspectives, decorative sculpture, thunderous church organs and people.There are very good places to eat and drink before and after drawing,(Smiths of Smithfield recommended) Meet outside the church at 10:55 and we will enter as a group with a group discount (£3.50 per person)
