| Description: St Clement Danes Church now stands on an island between the Strand and Aldwych. A church has stood here since the 11th century, but the present church was rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren - his only church outside the City of London. The steeple was added in 1719.
The church was destroyed by German bombs in 1941, with only the steeple and walls remaining. It was rebuilt and reopened in 1958, and is now dedicated to the Royal Air Force. |
