Fix this textAT the north - eastern corner of
Fix this textTrafalgar Square in the heart of
Fix this textLondon stands the famous Church of St.
Fix this textMartin’s-in-the-Fields. it is not only
Fix this text“the parish church of the world”: it is
Fix this textalso the * parish church of English
Fix this textSovereigns, and in its registers are
Fix this textentered the births of all the Royal children.
Fix this textCharles 11, John Hampden, Francis
Fix this textBacon and Sir Winston Churchill, father
Fix this textof the Duke of Marlborough, were all
Fix this textchristened there. In 1811 Thomas Moore
Fix this textwas married in the church to Bessie
Fix this textDyke, the actress. In the burial register
Fix this textappear the names of Thomas Chippen-
Fix this textdale, the cabinet-maker, who died in
Fix this text1779, and of Nell Gwynn, who died in
Fix this text1687. There is in St. Martin’s a Royal
Fix this textpew, the only one in any parish church
Fix this textin London. The elaborate steeple, sur-
Fix this textmounted by a Royal crown to signify the
Fix this textRoyal parish, is a favourite roost for
Fix this textLondon starlings.
Fix this textThe patron saint is, of course, St.
Fix this textMartin, who died sixteen hundred years
Fix this textago ; he was a Roman officer who be-
Fix this textcame Bishop of Tours. In 1222 it is
Fix this textrecorded that a church stood upon the
Fix this textpresent site, and for centuries it was
Fix this textsurrounded by an agricultural district—
Fix this texthence its name.
Fix this textThe Church of St. Martin's, as it exists
Fix this texttoday, was built in 1721-26 to the designs
Fix this textof James Gibbs, and is regarded as one
Fix this textof his best works. The architect, who
Fix this textcame from Aberdeen, studied in Rome
Fix this textunder Fontana, the builder of the front
Fix this textof St. Peter’s. • His influence is seen in
Fix this textthe dignified Corinthian portico. Gibbs
Fix this textalso built St. Mary-le-Strand, near Aus-
Fix this texttralia House, and his designs influenced
Fix this textchurch architecture for a century, par-
Fix this textticularly in the United States, where St.
Fix this textPaul’s Church, on Broadway, New
Fix this textYork, was modelled on the lines of St..
Fix this textMartin’s.
Fix this textThe fame of St. Martin’s is due in no
Fix this textsmall measure to the work of the Rev.
Fix this textDick Sheppard, its vicar from 1914 to
Fix this text1927. His personality, his enthusiasm
Fix this textand his famous sermons aroused a
Fix this textwarmth of personal affection for him-
Fix this textself and for his church which was a
Fix this textrevelation to the world. He founded the
Fix this text“St. Martin’s Review,” to which many
Fix this texteminent writers contributed; he intro-
Fix this textduced the tradition of military bands at
Fix this textservices, and at night the crypt became
Fix this texta friendly shelter for the homeless.
