Commentary
"S. Mary Woolnoth, London, was the least conventional of all Hawksmoor's churches. A basement, with both window and portal designed en niche has banded rustication extending round the two extremely tall Doric columns. Above this a free-standing Corinthian order encircles the belfry and supports twin turrets."
