Fix this textfinely proportioned than that of the
Fix this textChurch of St. Mary-le-Strand, situated
Fix this texton an island site near Australia House in
Fix this textthe Strand.
Fix this textDating from 1717, the present Church
Fix this textoccupies the site of the famous Strand
Fix this textmaypole, which was garlanded each year
Fix this texton May Day and around which the
Fix this textcitizens of London used to dance. It was
Fix this textone hundred and thirty-four feet high
Fix this textand was a source of great pride to the
Fix this textlocal inhabitants until 1644, when the
Fix this textPuritans succeeded in having it destroyed
Fix this textas one of “the last remnants of vile
Fix this textheathenism” in the metropolis. Seventeen
Fix this textyears later, however, James Duke of
Fix this textYork, Lord High Admiral of England
Fix this textsupervised the erection by twelve seamen’
Fix this textof a splendid new maypole, which sur-
Fix this textvived there until 1710. It was purchased
Fix this textby Sir Isaac Newton and re-erected in
Fix this textWanstead Park, London, where it served
Fix this textas a stand for the largest telescope, at
Fix this textthat time, in Europe.
Fix this textSt. Mary-le-Strand was the first of fifty
Fix this textChurches built in London during the
Fix this textreign of Queen Anne (1702-1714), and
Fix this textwas completed within nine years. The
Fix this textarchitect was James Gibbs, whose design
Fix this textwas similar in style to that of nearby St.
Fix this textClement Danes, built in 1681 by Wren,
Fix this textwhich appears in the background of the
Fix this textaccompanying illustration.
Fix this textFeatures of the exterior of St. Mary-
Fix this textle-Strand are the diminishing tiered
Fix this textsteeple of the Ionic portico, while inside
Fix this textthe Church are paintings of the Annuncia-
Fix this texttion and the Passion by Robert Brown,
Fix this textthe artist who helped Sir James Thorn-
Fix this texthill to paint the dome of St. Paul’s. The
Fix this textelaborate ceiling of St. Mary-le-Strand is
Fix this textslightly curved, and there is a gallery
Fix this textabove the door. Splendid examples of
Fix this texteighteenth-century carving appear on the
Fix this textorgan screen and the massive pulpit.
Fix this textThomas a Becket was once rector of the
Fix this textparish of St. Mary-le-Strand, and in the
Fix this textpresent Church, on June 13th, 1809, John
Fix this textDickens, father of the famous novelist
