The Bulletin  

GAVIN CASEY ON DOLLAR TOURISTS  

“The Bulletin,” Vol. 73-No. 3792  

Wednesday, October 15, 1952  

Price 9d.  

Registered at the General Post Office, Sydney, N.S.W., Australia, for Transmission by Post as Newspaper.  

Seppelts  

Near Australia House  

Stands Beautiful  

St. Mary-le-Strand  

the many beautiful spires that  

grace London’s skyline, none is more  

finely proportioned than that of the  

Church of St. Mary-le-Strand, situated  

on an island site near Australia House in  

the Strand.  

Dating from 1717, the present Church  

occupies the site of the famous Strand  

maypole, which was garlanded each year  

on May Day and around which the  

citizens of London used to dance. It was  

one hundred and thirty-four feet high  

and was source of great pride to the  

local inhabitants until 1644, when the  

Puritans succeeded in having it destroyed  

as one of Ã¢â‚¬Å“the last remnants of vile  

heathenism” in the metropolis. Seventeen  

years later, however, James Duke of  

York, Lord High Admiral of England  

supervised the erection by twelve seamen’  

of splendid new maypole, which sur-  

vived there until 1710. It was purchased  

by Sir Isaac Newton and re-erected in  

Wanstead Park, London, where it served  

as stand for the largest telescope, at  

that time, in Europe.  

St. Mary-le-Strand was the first of fifty  

Churches built in London during the  

reign of Queen Anne (1702-1714), and  

was completed within nine years. The  

architect was James Gibbs, whose design  

was similar in style to that of nearby St.  

Clement Danes, built in 1681 by Wren,  

which appears in the background of the  

accompanying illustration.  

Features of the exterior of St. Mary-  

le-Strand are the diminishing tiered  

steeple of the Ionic portico, while inside  

the Church are paintings of the Annuncia-  

tion and the Passion by Robert Brown,  

the artist who helped Sir James Thorn-  

hill to paint the dome of St. Paul’s. The  

elaborate ceiling of St. Mary-le-Strand is  

slightly curved, and there is gallery  

above the door. Splendid examples of  

eighteenth-century carving appear on the  

organ screen and the massive pulpit.  

Thomas Becket was once rector of the  

parish of St. Mary-le-Strand, and in the  

present Church, on June 13th, 1809, John  

Dickens, father of the famous novelist  

Charles Dickens, was married.
