The modern w. London church I mentioned upthread is St Katherine's, which has exposed bells, not even in a tower.

Does anyone rate Simon Jenkins' England's Thousand Best Churches?
(And, geekily, does anyone have any opinion on the 2012 version versus the original 2000 version?)

I think it's alright, yes. I got a copy for free and it stays in our car - occasionally we find ourselves in an area we don't know well and it's often worth a look to see if there's something he likes nearby.
My taste in churches runs a bit more modern(ist) these days which isn't really his game.

Thanks Tim.
Strangely, I'm really enjoying churches at the moment despite no religious inclinations.

Likewise! Off to Coventry for the football on Saturday but I'm just as excited to revisit the Cathedral.

We went here as part of Open House on Sunday and it's a modernist beaut: http://stpaulslorrimoresquare.org

Visited a beautiful church yesterday - St Michael at Cornhill. I had seen the outside of this one before but didn’t go in previously because a City gentleman approached me outside and I didn’t want to go in when he was hanging around.https://i.postimg.cc/zBQbVjF2/0-DF42-D55-A3-C7-4-BAD-9-C59-EAE92381-D905.jpghttps://i.postimg.cc/XJtfT3mv/3-F1676-E0-AB68-488-D-8-E91-CA4-DBF7194-EB.jpghttps://i.postimg.cc/7LYnzKSq/439438-AD-7-CAE-427-B-A5-AE-97-C6-A4-FE4-A9-F.jpghttps://i.postimg.cc/LsNZMRYp/58742-C10-FE13-4-DB3-A632-5-A476075735-A.jpghttps://i.postimg.cc/dQ7nnNp1/6-F9-C7431-4346-4-AD7-97-A0-44-BDF696732-D.jpghttps://i.postimg.cc/V6J9G57T/90-ED98-FF-73-F4-4647-A558-1130-FD56364-F.jpghttps://i.postimg.cc/mZ0jnNWS/F80-A521-C-7075-4-BCA-A2-FC-B962-D1-CB18-A0.jpg

Nice - that one has a pleasingly erratic mix of styles IMO. Sorry to hear about yr previous bullshit experience there.

Oh it’s fine, was just a bit weird. Had the whole place to myself yesterday. I also went to St Dunstans in the east but that doesn’t really count for this thread, does it.

I have a St Dunstans coat badge!

xp I think it counts.
Nearly 19 years ago I made reference to a church in Whitechapel with a tower that looked like it belongs to a fire station; I've only recently bothered to find anything out about the church and it looks like a beaut (which I'll visit sometime if I ever have a free Sunday): https://wharferj.wordpress.com/2014/04/29/st-bonifaces-german-church/

Will go back.
