Odd juxtaposition - a millennium separates these two works. That's a 10th-century Saxon rood (St Dunstan's is one of the oldest established churches in London) in the lower part of the pic.

The stained glass above it is postwar, of course - the left panel depicts the ruination of Stepney, the worst hit borough in London in the Blitz. The gasometers in the background survived the war but have gone now.

Like most churches in London, St Dunstan's lost its original stained glass in the war, but thankfully the main church fabric suffered little damage.

This little guy dates from Tudor times. He carries a hammer to deal with the Devil or other evil spirits should they choose to enter by the chimney.

Looking out from St Augustine's Tower.

This is an attempt to replicate a pic I took in 2006. Done from memory and with a different camera, so among other things the aspect ratio is a bit odd. Lots of changes - one of the subtle ones is that the core of the Shard just popping up on the skyline. The final product will be a pretty dominating sight...

Looking at this again, I think the road markings at the junction would make a composition of their own, together with the bridge. Must trundle up here on a sunny day some time...
