EDITORS COMMENTS
St Ethelburga's Church, located in the heart of the City of London on Bishopsgate, is depicted in this engraving, showcasing its historic beauty and enduring resilience. Dating back to the late 11th century, St Ethelburga's is one of the oldest and longest surviving churches in the city. The church's name is derived from St Ethelburga, a Saxon princess and virgin martyr, who is believed to have been the daughter of King Aldhelm of Wessex. The engraving captures the church's distinctive features, including its round tower, which is adorned with intricate carvings and decorative patterns. The tower, which dates back to the 15th century, is a testament to the church's rich history and the various architectural styles that have influenced its design over the centuries. Despite its long history, St Ethelburga's Church has faced numerous challenges. It was destroyed during the Great Fire of London in 1666 and was later rebuilt in the late 17th century. During World War II, the church was severely damaged during the Blitz, but was once again restored. Today, the church stands as a symbol of resilience and continuity in the face of adversity. The engraving also highlights the church's peaceful and serene atmosphere, with its tranquil garden and picturesque surroundings. Despite its location in the bustling heart of the City of London, St Ethelburga's Church remains a sanctuary of peace and reflection, offering solace and spiritual guidance to visitors and locals alike. This engraving is a beautiful and intricate depiction of a historic and significant landmark in the City of London, capturing the essence of St Ethelburga's Church and its enduring legacy.
