St Dunstan in the West
Fleet Street London EC4

St-Dunstan-in-the-WestSt-Dunstan-in-the-West dates from the 13th century but the present Gothic-revival church was built in 1831 - 33. At that time the widening of Fleet Street meant that the church had to be rebuilt slightly to the north. 

St Dunstan's main feature is its curious clock.

clockDating from the 17th century, this unusual timepiece was erected by the parishioners of St Dunstan after the Great Fire of 1666, as a token of thanks for surviving the fire, along with their church.  Two muscular figures, adorned with gold loincloths, wield clubs to strike a gong every 15 minutes. 

No one is really sure who these figures are supposed to represent but they may be Gog and Magog, the legendary giants of the City. 

On the outside of the church is a memorial to Lord Northcliffe, founder of the Daily Mail.
