Churches Large and Small(er)
London was not unlike the rest of the Reformation Tour in the sense that we visited churches. Tons of them, each beautiful in its own way. In London, though, not all of the churches were necessarily grand cathedrals.
Here, for instance, is the Wesley chapel, which we accompanied with a visit to John Wesley’s home.
One of the rooms in which John and Charles Wesley would converse on Charles’s frequent visits.
Some of the churches we visited WERE grand cathedrals, though - like Sir Christopher Wren’s masterpiece, St. Paul’s.
And other potentially memorable churches - like Westminster Abbey.
While at St. Paul’s, of course, it is a necessity to climb up through the Whispering Gallery (where I held a whispered conversation with a fellow tourist who was standing on the other side of the dome), through the Stone Gallery, and up to the Golden Gallery, or what we liked to refer to as the “tippy-top.” Over 500 steps later, it was absolutely worth the view. (The intro picture in this post is from the tippy-top, as well.)
