St Mary-le-Bow
The Norman church here was called St Marie de Arcubus for the bow arches of stone in its crypt, and Wren carried the arch motif into his rebuilding of 1670 to 1683. Almost completely destroyed in the Second World War, it was rebuilt a second time, and the tower again carries a ring of twelve bells. Access from Cheapside is step-free, and weekday prayer is said twice daily.
