[Elevation and plan of St Anne's Church in Limehouse]
View through Europeana Collections
A drawing by celebrated architect Nicholas
Hawksmoor of part of his church at Limehouse. This is a design for
the church tower, one of several he created. Limehouse was
originally in Stepney parish. There was opposition from local
clergy to the creation of the new parish here. The fine new St
Anne's church, built in 1712-24 was not consecrated until 1730. It
was built in the shape of a Greek Cross. The clock is the highest
church clock in London and acted as a landmark for ships coming
into the East End docks.
