St Margaret Pattens
Eastcheap, London EC3

St Margaret Pattens was named after a type of overshoe made in the locality.  These wooden clogs, or sandals on a wooden platform or metal ring, were worn over shoes to protect them from the wet. 

Built in 1684 - 87, St Margaret Pattens is one of the 51 churches rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren after the Great Fire of 1666. 

The Portland stone walls of the church are a contrast to the Georgian stucco shopfront in the forecourt. The 17th century canopied pews and ornate font have survived in the simple interior.
