If you want to find one of Wren’s churches that shows how pretty some of his designs were, and also one that has been largely unaltered since it was built in 1686, then St Mary Abchurch is the place to go. The church is one of Wren’s smaller churches, and it is noted for its excellent carved wood interior, especially the alter and surrounding area, which were built by Grinling Gibbons. The alter was one of the pieces that was damaged in the Second World War, and it took over five years to put the objects back together.
