 St Helens, Bishopsgate   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
In 1874 the nearby church of St Martin Outwich, which stood at the junction of Bishopsgate and Threadneedle Street, was demolished and eighteen of its monuments transferred to St Helens.
The architect in charge of St Helens reconstruction was Quinlan Terry, and he put forward an ambitious plan to restore the church's medieval floor level, thus returning it to its original level throughout, and allowing for underfloor heating.
The 500 mark bequest he made to St Helens is believed to have paid for the four great arches in the centre of the building that mark the split between the naves.

In a glass case in the church is a hand-bell which was used to rouse prisoners in the adjoining Newgate prison on their final night.
"All you who in the condemned hole do lie, prepare you, for tomorrow you shall die..." At one time they were hung on a gallows in the street outside the prison, and many must have raised their eyes to the tower of St Sepulchre as they were sent to the hereafter.
To the east of the church there used to stand (until the war) a watch-house which was built in 1792 to survey the graveyard, which had become the main source of supply for grave-robbers.

 Talkin' Broadway Review: Major Barbara
Dana Ivey (Lady Britomart Undershaft) dazzles as she commands the stage, the quintessential British matron, heir and defender of a class system Shaw mercilessly attacked throughout his career.
David Warner (Andrew Undershaft), Shaw’s harbinger of social and political ideals, his superman here struggling to recruit both his daughter and her fiancĂ© to the Shavian world view, triumphs in a performance that brings to mind the calm center of a hurricane.
Cherry Jones (Barbara Undershaft), as the indomitable idealist forced to face the faults of her beliefs, and Denis O’Hare (Adolphus Cusins), as the weak man who grows strong by virtue of his love for her, perfectly capture both the hesitant reserve and humor of Shaw’s concept of intellectual courtship.

Andrew Undershaft, commonly St. Mary Axe,[sic] on the North side of Leadenhall Street, so called from a long Maypole, or Shaft, which used to stand, or be set up in the Street, before the Church Door, every May Day, which was higher than the Steeple, and consequently the Church was under the Shaft.
It is also called St. Mary Axe, or Nax, because of the Sign of an Axe which did hang over against the end thereof; and under this Appellation it's dedicated to the Honour of the Virgin Mary, as is the other to the Apostle St. Andrew.
