Légende

St. Bene't's, Fink, 1845. The Church of St Benet Fink in Threadneedle Street in the City of London was designed by Sir Christopher Wren and built in the 1670s, a previous church on the site having been destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666. 'This Church has just been taken down in the progress of the improvements consequent upon the re-edification of the Royal Exchange'. View showing '...the stone tower at the west end of the Church, with the exterior of two of the ten sides of the main building, as seen in Thread needle-street. The tower was removed some months since: it was dwarfish, and devoid of beauty; and was surmounted by a dome and small belfry; the entire height being 110 feet'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
