A short series with few words looking at the postcards we
sent from Woolwich, Greenwich and Eltham.
The description on the back describes “the Parish Church of
the Royal Borough of Greenwich is a handsome structure dedicated to St Alphege,
which was erected in 1710 from designs by Hawksmore.
It stands in on the site of two former bull
rings dedicated to the same Saint, who suffered martyrdom on this spot at the
hands of the Danes. General Wolfe is
buried within its walls.”
Location; Greenwich
