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

I’m somewhat struck by the similarity to Mithras and the Tauroctony which is even more interesting considering proximity of the sites. Or I could just need more tea!
