I was greated by a kind priest who explained some of the history of the church. There were no others in the church and once I learned the history I was surprised. I stayed in a hotel nearby I stopped at the Church as I was wandering around. I learned there has been a house of prayer at this site since this church has been around since 1101. There used to be a leper hospital here. Years later “in the fields” was added because the parish stretched out wide. The church was near gallows in the 15th century and at the church gate the criminals were offered ale - known as “st Giles bowl”as a last drink of their life. A new church was built after the London fire and in the 1700s the area was poor. Later the children of lord Byron were baptized here. In the late 1800s the black and white tiles were added see photos. An intresting stop if you’re in the area.
St Giles in the field is situated on Denmark Street and is another church steeped in history. Back in 1101, the first church was founded by Queen Matilda, wife of Henry 1st, as a hospital for London's leppers. Eventually, the parish grew, and the necessity for a new church was required. The second church was built in 1631 and became known as the plague church as so many victims were interred in its confines. Samuel Pepys makes reference to this in his diary. The third church and what you see now were built and consecrated in 1733. Designed by Henry Flitcroft in a palladian style with heightened steeple, the church still serves the local parish with weekly services.
The Church has a very informative website. A church has been on this site for over a millennium. A beautiful and simple church. Visited mid morning on a Saturday. I don't know if it's a weekly thing, but the church supports an important apostolate of support to homeless people including clothes, food and health etc. A calm and beautiful church close to the heart of London Theatre Land.
This is the quietest place I have visited so far. Although, this is not located in the quietest streets of London, however, it somehow manages to surprise us. This is a beautifully built church with lots of space in its surroundings to have a peaceful time. When I visited this place there was not a single person inside and it felt so calm and peaceful to sit here.
The site of St Giles-in-the-Fields Church has a history going back to medieval times, although the the present church only dates back to 18th century. Architecturally, the church is interesting for being the first English church to be built in the Palladian style. Even if the church isn't open, it's worth a detour for those with an interest in architecture. As others have mentioned, St Giles was the last church on the route the gallows at Tyburn. An interesting bit of trivia is that the churchwardens paid for the condemned to have a drink at a nearby pub, popularly called "St Giles' Bowl".
The only way to have a quiet moment of it's own in central london is to enter one of those little gems...an other legacy,daytime only! Refresh and have a think inside the church itself where you might find yourself lonely but somehow lucky or blessed...or wonder outside in the back garden slightly busier.
Beautiful Gothic church where Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley and Mary Shelley worshipped and had their children christened. John Wesley's pulpit is on display and as is an inscription for the poet and activist Marvel.
Lovely church service on a Sunday by our old Vicar Tom. Great to be able to sing again in church and listern to the organ. All finished off with tea and biscuits.
