Best of luck with the new music site. Great choice of theme!

Thanks for leaving a comment on this post!

It is the spire of St Bride’s church in Fleet Street, central London.

You’re very close geographically and spot on with the architect (Sir Christopher Wren – the 2nd tallest of all Wren’s churches, with only St Paul’s Cathedral itself having a higher pinnacle).

The church, dedicated to St Bridget of Ireland, has a long and interesting history with worship perhaps dating back to the conversion of the Middle Saxons in the 7th century. It has been conjectured that, as the patron saint is Irish, it may have been founded by Celtic monks, missionaries proselytising the English.

In the early 1500s England’s first printing press with moveable type was brought alongside St Bride’s because the literate churchmen were it’s best customers. For this reason and it’s obvious location it has been known as the journalist’s church or the printer’s church – the relevance of the image to this site

The tiered spire is said to have been the inspiration for the design of modern tiered wedding cakes. The hidden object is around the bottom circular window – a wedding ring!

By the way, David, for some reason I’ve started a music news, comment and information site called http://www.mu-sik.com have a look and remember imitation is the highest form of flattery.

Is that one of the St. Pauls towers?

As for the hidden object, either I’m stumped or it’s just been a very long day (or both).

I hope all’s well with you.
