Talk:St Alphege London Wall

Tower
The reference "only the tower remains" doesn't actually give that information. This is a good thing - as it doesn't! The shell of the tower and N transept survive, as does some original masonry on the line of the wall. 81.187.223.119 (talk) 20:35, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Oh I have better photos of the site on flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/secretlondon/2624847021/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/secretlondon/2624847027/) which I'll upload (at some point). This needs lots, the Pevsner book referenced has more (and I have a copy). There are two bits to the site - the ruined tower facing London Wall (the street) visible from St Alphage Highwalk and St Alphage House's car park. There is also the remaining masonry in the wall fragment on Fore Street. Pevsner says the site was demolished in 1923, COLLAGE has photos of a more substantial church building from the late 1950s - Collage photo from 1955, Collage photo from 1959. 81.187.223.119 (talk) 20:57, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Name
Might could be that "Alphage" was formerly more common but the Museum of London (who study the wall) and English Heritage (who administer the site) both use the spelling Alphege. Moved. — Llywelyn II   07:38, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
