	Christ Church Spitalfields - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Christ Church Spitalfields, lies on Commercial Street, E1, just outside the eastern border of the City of London, and was started in 1714 and completed in 1729.
		The architectural composition of Christ Church demonstrates Hawksmoor’s usual abruptness: the very plain rectangular box of the nave is surmounted at its west end by a broad tower of three stages topped by a steeple more Gothic than classical.
		The church was savagely altered in 1850 by Ewan Christian (better known as architect of London’s National Portrait Gallery), who removed the galleries, blocked in the windows at the corners of the central space, and lowered the main windows.

		Christ Church ‘is full of surprises,’ wrote Professor Downes, ‘no less when one passes the west front and finds the great cavities hollowed out of the massive front of the belfry stage (4)’.
		On the pavement, by the portico of Christ's Church, where the stone pillars rise toward the sky in a stately row, were whole rows of men lying asleep or drowsing, and all too deep sunk in torpor to rouse or be made curious by our intrusion.
		The Spitalfields Church is the scene of the death of a child who, pursued by a menacing stranger, seeks shelter in its grounds.

	ThothWeb - Nicholas Hawksmoor: The 'devil's architect'
		Like Christ Church, St George's Bloomsbury was one of the "fifty new churches" commissioned in the second wave of church building, for which Hawksmoor was one of the chief surveyors, after the Great Fire of London.
		The nave of the church appears to be a perfect cube, with the altar in an apse to the east.
		This is surely the oddest church tower in the land: a pyramid, of all things, topped by a statue of George I in Roman garb, with pairs of lions and unicorns cavorting around its base.
