| 説明 | Shots taken as we walked down Marylebone Road, from Regent's Park (after leaving London Zoo), heading back to Marylebone Station to go home.Took these shots of St Marylebone Parish Church as we headed back from Regent's Park down York Gate.For some reason, Heritage Gateway calls it the Church of St Mary (when it is St Marylebone Parish Church). But I think that it is the same building.It is a Grade I listed building.Parish church. 1813-18 by Thomas Hardwick; the chancel remodelled byThomas Harris, 1883-84. Portland stone; slate roof.
