Reviews of St Margaret's Church
V. S. B.St. Margaret’s, known as ‘the church on Parliament Square’, is a 12th-century church next to Westminster Abbey. It’s also sometimes called ‘the parish church of the House of CommonsSaint Margaret’s Church, church in the London borough of Westminster, since 1614 the official church of the House of Commons. It stands near Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament.The church was founded by the abbot of Westminster in the early or mid-12th century, but the original structure was demolished in the 14th century. Between 1486 and 1523 it was rebuilt, and galleries were added in 1641 and 1681. Further alterations were made in subsequent periods, including extensive repairs after the bombing raids that devastated London in World War II. The 16th-century east window is a distinctive characteristic of the church. Among the notables married in St. Margaret’s were the diarist Samuel Pepys (in 1655), the poet John Milton (1656), and the statesman Winston Churchill (1908). St. Margaret’s Church, Westminster Abbey, and the Houses of Parliament were collectively designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987.
J. M.A beautiful church right next to Westminster Abby. Most people miss this one for the main attraction but it is well worth the visit particularly to some quiet away from the crowds visiting the Abby.
B.A highly overshadowed attraction in Westminster is St. Margaret's Church which can also be visited in the courtyard grounds of Westminster Abbey. This is a quick, easy and free attraction that can be visited before or after seeing the abbey.
Originally built towards the end of the 11th century, the church has a history almost as long as the Abbey itself. It is included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site designation for Westminster Abbey and is well worth a few minutes of your time if you intend to see the abbey.
St. Margaret's Church is quite small but has an attractive nave, commemorative stained glass windows, important burial markers, a decorative pulpit and high alter that are interesting to see.
In the end, while the church lacks the 'wow' factor you can experience inside the abbey, it is attractive and worth a few minutes of your time if you plan to visit Westminster Abby.
S. M.A very nice and calming place perfect for sitting and enjoying the surroundings.
J. W.Beautiful church, very interesting history.
C. Y.This church is right next to Westminster Abbey. A small church but definitely historic architecture. Definitely another landmark in London.
I love the "clock" alike thing on the building. It is not a regular clock but shape like a clock. It definitely adds some character.
A. T.I like this small and beautiful church. It is near the Westminster abbey.
L. R.Famous church for London, just besides the Westminster Abbey. Free entrance.
t.Lovely place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the tourists visiting Westminster Abbey next door. If you want a peaceful place to pray and gather your thoughts, this is the place to go.
m. t.St Philip and St James is the English village church at its most reassuring, rubble-built in the 14th century and restored in 1847 by Sir George Gilbert Scott, who altered much of the church's architecture, including the addition of dressed stone to the upper sections of the south and east walls and the majority of the north. Notably, the royal arms above the south door date to 1660, the year of the Restoration.
The churchyard is well kept and the bells were completely refurbished in 2011. The more recent development of the north west corner in wood, steel and glass may lack some of the charm of the rest of the church's fabric, but is finished to a high standard — receiving a national award from Country Life magazine in 2008.
