These London 'snippets' are always really interesting.

The fact that they carved cloth. Flowing, realistic cloth, like that in the 1600s, by hand is genuinely impressive.

John Donne was a method actor. I love your facts, excited for my next trip to London!

Don't ask for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee. I pray he made heaven

[paulashe]

The burning of the old Norman St Paul caused a river of lead to flow down Fleet Street. Stopped at the Twining tea shop. Were the flames hadn’t burnt.

“Death be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not soe,
For, those, whom thou think’st, thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill mee …” - John Donne

You can get a lovely cup of tea - or coffee - in the crypt with some cake or a sandwich and eat it amongst some of the stone memorials, usually of seafarers. It’s lovely and cool in there on a very hot day, too.

Send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.

Wow it is amazing that this Statue is the only thing that survived.

[grovermartin]

Wow! I wonder where it was that it was protected?

[JonBrownSherman]

Good move for a proper modest clergyman... Commission a marble statue of yourself as a monument by which to be personally remembered.

[barbaradyson]

I'd forgotten about John Dunn. Thank you for reminding me of him.

[chazhoosier]

He is depicted waking up from death at the moment of the Resurrection.

Finally end of this month will visit London...dream city to be visit.

[christianfreedom-seeker]

Facinating! The Church building is basically a Roman Basillica

[painter]

Was this statue originally lying down? because all the folds of the sheet are rather flat, aren't they ?!

[georgekaritzis]

Very interesting stuff... just subbed, can you highlight something in Vauxhall/Lambeth ?

[teresakennedy]

Another fascinating detail is if you don’t complete your tour on the day your ticket is valid for a year!…so you can go back and finish your trip! 😊

[geraldstiling]

And It should be horizontal ⏩not vertical🔼

[Emppu_T.]

the art of making detailed statues out of stone shouldn't be lost.
