The fantastic spire of St Botolph’s without Aldgate. The current church dates to 1741 replacing one which survived the Great Fire. It also survived the Blitz and has a dedication to those that lost their lives in the worst night of the Blitz. #SteepleSaturday

Sanctus Patricius serpentes ex Hibernia agit... serpentes eum maxime vexant! (St Patrick drives the snakes out of Ireland... the snakes are annoying him a lot!)
Drawing of St Patrick driving a donkey cart with three snakes in. The snakes are saying "nonne iam advenimus?" (Are we there yet?); "necesse est mihi mingere" (I need a wee); "nauseo" (I feel sick) and St Patrick is thinking "miserere mei" (Have pity on me).
