The London church named after a shoe! 👞

[@fromthenetherlands]

I love all this information and the stories behind some of the (hidden) buildings!! Thank you!

[@livinglondonhistory]

Very glad to hear it, thanks for your comment!

[@billrobbins5874]

They tore our church down and put up a McDonalds. 🤢

[@saraswatkin9226]

How dreadful those glass monstrous structures that have been allowed to be erected in London which should have listed building status for whole of inner London.

[@dalestaley5637]

It's a shame the horrible buildings surrounding it lack any imagination.

[@Jb-tl1yi]

Yes, I couldn't agree more. Those 'monstrous carbuncles' have blighted the city.

[@robinier]

I just came across the word "patten" in a Dickens novel. Fun making another connection

[@richardjames1384]

[@johncamp2567]

Fantastic

[@starcatto2486]

can you do a video about the neighbouring minster court?

[@Ingrid-sb6my]

Cool!!!

[@Franciscaharrison1978]

Those 'shoes' look terribly uncomfortable

[@johndaarteest]

But they probably kept the shoes and clothing clean and so did their job.

[@helentee9863]

Only used for walking short distances over the top of a soft,leather shoe,similar to what was called (around 100 years ago) a 'house' shoe.
For longer distances everyone wore boots, with a thick leather sole.
Or, if very young,elderly or infirm,were carried by relatives,servants or in a cart. Even possibly paners on a horse/donkey/ass.

Where the sandals became lost.

[@valerieprice-wn9qb]

So glad to see it hasn’t been turned into a mosque ! History is beautiful !

[@robward367]

I walked out on the bell tower balcony once here, bloody terrifying !

[@KCJbomberFTW]

Imagine wearing skis to trek over the 10” horse manure on the way home 😅

[@The-KP]

"Mud, grime" and 💩!
