St James Garlickhythe
Skinners Lane, London EC4

St James Garlickhythe was one of the 51 churches built in London by Sir Christopher Wren after the Great Fire of 1666. 

The church roof is the highest in the city, after St Paul's Cathedral, with an elegant spire dating from 1717.  

Known as 'Wren's Lantern', the light-filled interior of St James Garlickhythe has changed little since the 17th century.  A highlight of the church is its unusual sword rests and hat stands.
