The Church of St Bartholomew the Great is one of the oldest places of worship in London. It was founded as far back as 1123, by a courtier of Henry I, Rahere. Rahere also founded the nearby St Bart’s hospital. The church fell into disrepair due to its large size, and was restored in the 19th Century. Hogarth was baptised in the church in 1697. More recently the church is famous for being used in the filming of ‘Four Weddings and a Funeral’.
