Not much left as the church was first destroyed in the Great Fire. Rebuilt by Christopher Wren it was then destroyed in the Blitz. Apparently the surviving standing walls were sent to US Fulton in Missouri where it was rebuilt as a memorial to Churchill. In the gardens there is a bust of Shakespeare, a memorial to two of his friends and partners in the Globe theatre who were buried in this churchyard.
St Mary Aldermanbury Garden is a former Church of England church and largely destroyed in the Second World War, leaving only the walls standing. The walls were transported to the US and rebuilt as a memorial to Churchill. The ruins are now a public garden and all the remains of the church is the footprint above ground. Would be a nice little sitting garden in Central London if it wasn't so far from the main attractions. Plenty of benches if you really wanted to come take a seat here.
Pleasant little Church Garden on the corner of Love Lane Once a red light district & Aldermanbury . Worth a visit if you are in the vicinity visiting Guildhall which is a minute or two walk away. There was a medieval church on the site which was destroyed in The Great Fire , rebuilt by Wren & then , like so many other churches , bombed in the blitz of WWII. Strangely , the ruins were removed & erected on the campus of Westminster College , Fulton , Missouri as a nod to Winston Churchill who made his speech about an Iron Curtain coming down over Europe there. The bust of Shakespeare is there because 2 great friends of his were parishioners at St. Mary Aldermanbury. Plenty of seats in the garden & like most of these church gardens you will find local office workers & construction workers making good use of them.
Benches everywhere to sit down and the old brick works there from the war is a wonder to look at. To all my smokers out here this is the spot the building is call one love lane Bob Marley shout out it is a commemoration park to William Shakespeare and I'm shore he smoked and there's a police station there also so it feels like this is a spot to be free and have a smoke while sticking it to the man as they say love lil park in the middle of a busy city
A quiet peaceful oasis to take a moment from hectic day to day life. Even at lunchtime there are normally free benches after the pandemic at least
Small well-tended garden with an impressive array of shrubs, hedges, a patch of lawn and a shady canopy of varied trees. A congregation of benches cheek to jowl here with Shakespeare, I suspect, eavesdropping on your chit chat. Situated immediately behind City of London Police building.
A majestic bust of William Shakespeare in the garden stands as a memorial to his fellow actors Henry Condell and John Hemmings who were key figures in the printing of the playwright's First Folio of works. Both actors are buried in the church.
A park overlooked by most visitors to the guildhall, at the top of the street just past the clock museum is Shakespeare park, you won't find it on a Web search but it is here all the same,the inscriptions below the bust of Shakespeare are references to his two friends who gathered together his works after his death to preserve them,.when you leave walk past the police stables and view the church steeple in the middle of the road, through the tunnel opposite is the ruins of the church, the two were built separately because there was not enough space to build as one, continue on and there is part of the London wall, at the top at London wall road is a small ruin of a park with a plaque mentioning that nearby is where Shakespeare lived in lodgings, to your left you will see the museum of London, worth a visit especially if you have children.
Very pleasant little garden amongst the ruins of the church. Plenty of benches and stones for people to sit on as they enjoy their lunch, etc.
In 1642 John Owen visited the church for a service at which he gave his life to Christ. "He expected to hear Edmund Calamy preach, but a substitute was in the pulpit. Owen’s friend urged him to leave with him to hear a more famous minister some distance away, but Owen decided to stay. The substitute preacher chose as his text, “Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?” God used that sermon to bring Owen to assurance of faith. Later, Owen tried in vain to learn the identity of the preacher." -Dr. Joel Beeke and Randall J. Pederson-
