An Interior View of the Porch of the Parish Church St. Alphage; An interior view of the porch of the parish church of St Alphage, London Wall: formerly the chapel of the priory of Elsynge Spital.
London: Robert Wilkinson, 1815. Etching and engraving on wove paper with an "1809" watermark, 13 1/2 x 10 inches (342 x 252 mm), full margins. In very good condition with some age related toning and light spots of discoloration in the lower sheet quadrant.
Damaged in the Blitz, and largely demolished in the 1960s, what remains of St Mary Elsing includes these doorways, which still stand, looking back towards London Wall. The ruins include tall arches which once formed the base of the tower. There is also a low wall with an arched recess which may have been used to house a tomb.
