St Bride's Church on London’s Fleet Street is one of the most famous and fascinating historic churches in central London. It is known worldwide as the journalists church, offering a spiritual home to all who work in the media.
What other churches have risen from the ashes of The Great Fire of London and the Blitz, acted as a source of support for the poor during the Plague years and inspired the design of the wedding cake?
The story of St Bride's is inextricably woven into the heritage of the City of London with a history that stretches back an astonishing 2000 years. Its current rector aptly has a passion for history. The Reverend Dr Alison Joyce was appointed in 2014 and says she ‘probably has the most interesting job in the Church of England.’
