The Church of St. Bartholomew the Great, Smithfield.
The South Aisle looking west back towards the entrance. This church is, generally, rather gloomy possibly because most of the windows are just under roof level.

The Church of St. Bartholomew the Great, Smithfield.
This shows virtually the whole length of the church and with those pillars and arches it couldn't be anything other than Norman.

The 15th century octagonal Font in the South Aisle; one of only two pre-Reformation fonts in London.

The Church of St. Bartholomew the Great, Smithfield.
This is all that remains of the original cloisters and is now used as a cafe.
We had lunch here and although the soup was delicious it was really only just warm enough and the service was very slow.
