Religious Sites, The City
Fodor's Review:
Reached via a perfect half-timber gatehouse atop a 13th-century stone archway, this is one of London's oldest churches. With the Dissolution of the Monasteries, Henry VIII had most of it torn down; the Romanesque choir loft is all that survives from the 12th century. On the other side of the road, the church's namesake St. Bartholomew's Hospital is home to a small museum. Facing both is Smithfield's meat market.
