The All Hallows Staining Church at 50 Fenchurch Street has been surrounded by a 60,000 square foot excavation site, reports The Standard.
The Standard writes:
A 700-year-old church tower has been suspended 45 feet above ground… The tower of All Hallows Staining Church was balanced on stilts above a 60,000 square foot excavation site… what developers called a ‘never seen before feat of engineering’. A ‘bottoming out’ ceremony…
… The tower is the last remaining part of the church thought to have first been built in the 14th century….
