St Bartholomew-the-Great

( Highly Recommended )

Founded in 1123 by Rahere, the court jester to Henry I, this is London's oldest church. The entrance is an unusual half-timbered Tudor gatehouse, and the atmospheric interior is reminiscent of a small cathedral. It has the best Norman chancel in London (rivalled only by the Chapel of St John in the Tower of London) with Norman piers supporting an upper gallery. There are also some very fine tomb monuments, including that of Rahere.
