Sometimes you just need to hear 200 people sing a queer anthem in a medieval church 🥹🥰🩷Song: Pink Pony Club by @chappellroan Church: St Mary-at-Hill, London ⛪️Choir: @londoncityvoices Arrangement: @benswanmusic A quick history lesson:A church has mostly likely stood on this site, on what is now Lovat Lane, since the 11th century, meaning this small patch within the heart of the City of London has served its community for nearly 1000 years. In 1666 the medieval building was almost completely destroyed by the Great Fire of London, but was rebuilt just years later by Sir Christopher Wren and Robert Hook.Although the church survived the damage of the Blitz during the Second World War, a fire in May 1988 caused major damage to the roof, pulpits and organ, which itself dates from 1848. Also during the extensive restoration, archeologists found traces of ancient graves pre-dating the medieval church, confirming that the area was once part of Roman London!Thomas Becket was born less than a mile away from the church (in 1119/20) and was recorded as a ‘person’ here by a Tudor historian. Talking of the Tudors, Thomas Tallis, who was a composer for King Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I, was employed at St Mary-at-Hill as either an organist or a choral singer between 1537-38. 💒🩷View all 1,155 comments
