“There are parish histories, and there are parish histories. When the parish church features in a Hogarth engraving known across the world, and Nell Gwyn is a former parishioner, the reader can be assured that the parish is anything but parochial. St Giles-in-the-Fields has moved from calculated geographical remoteness to a central place in a great city.”
Diarmaid MacCulloch, Emeritus Professor of the History of the Church, University of Oxford.
