St George Bloombsbury

St George's Bloomsbury is the sixth and final London church
 designed by  architect Nicholas Hawksmoor.
Originally consecrated in 1731,
St George's was reopened to the public in 2006
following a five-year restoration initiated and managed
 by the World Monuments Fund in Britain
and made possible by the generosity of the
Paul Mellon Estate and the Heritage Lottery Fund.
