St Bartholomew the Great Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
St. Bartholomew's Cathedral is one of the oldest churches in London, founded in 1123 and used as an Augustinian monastery, which has been a place of worship since 1143. The mysterious scenes in Sherlock Holmes are taken from the Norman-style inner chapel of the church. When you are inside the church, you can't hear the outside noise at all. Therefore, it became a good place for filming films such as Shakespeare in Love, Elizabeth: The Golden Age and The Dove in the Magpie's Nest.

The original building of St Bartholomew's Cathedral is a long-established ruined Augustine Abbey church built in the 12th century, which was not open until 11 o'clock when visited, with spectacular Norman interiors, even lampshades, which are Gothic.
St Bartolobuca is London's oldest church and has appeared in many period films, with original medieval floors and wall tiles, many burials and monuments to be seen. Tickets are £5 and there is a cafe serving snacks on weekdays.
St Bartholomew the Great, London’s oldest parish church, is hands down one my favourite historical spots in London. The history here is palpable.The first thing to spot is the unusual architecture. Construction initially began in a Romanesque style of architecture, brought over by the Normans, characterised by rounded arches and big chunky columns. However during the build, the Gothic style was becoming the go-to design.
This is a famous church and worth a visit!
Blind eyes to repair bridges and make up roads, killing people and setting fires, I went to Xitian and asked me Buddha, Buddha said I had no choice.
Beautiful scenery, I like this place very much, very good choice!
