Detail InformationEdit

St. Helen’s Bishopsgate is a large conservative evangelical Anglican church, in the City of London, close to the Lloyd’s building and 30 St Mary Axe.It is the largest surviving church in the City and contains more monuments than any other church in London except Westminster Abbey, hence it is sometimes referred to as the ‘Westminster Abbey of the City’.
The church of St. Helen dates from the 12th century, and a priory of Benedictine nuns was founded there in 1210. It is unusual in that it was designed with two parallel naves, giving it a wide interior. Until the dissolution of the priory in 1538, the church was divided in two by a partition running from east to west, the northern half serving the nuns and the southern the parishioners. It is the only building from a nunnery to survive in the City of London.The priory had extensive monastic buildings; its hall was later used by the Worshipful Company of Leathersellers until its demolition in 1799. A crypt extended north from the church, under the hall.
