Summary

Description
English: Christ Church, Spitalfields, London Christ Church, Spitalfields, is one of the Fifty New Churches, commissioned by the Act of Parliament of 1711 to be built on open sites in outlying areas of the City of London, which were experiencing rapid growth. Built on a longitudinal west-east axis, Christ Church's west front terminates the facing street with a monumental steeple, which punctuates the simple rectangular massing of the body of the church. The steeple rises directly behind a grand portico, raised by steps from the street. The portico has a Palladian or Venetian form. The architect was Nicholas Hawksmoor. It is a Grade 1 listed building. http://www.greatbuildings.com/buildings/Christ_Church.html
