St Giles’ Cripplegate is one of the few remaining medieval churches in the City of London. The official title of the benefice is “St Giles Cripplegate with St Bartholomew, Moor Lane, St Alphage, London Wall and St Luke, Old Street with St Mary Charterhouse and St Paul, Clerkenwell.”
It is thought there has been a church on the spot for a thousand years. After surviving devastating bombing during the Blitz, St Giles sits at the heart of the modern Barbican development.
