St. Bartholomew-The-Great, Smithfield, London, England

St. Bartholomew-the-Great is a medieval Augustinian priory church located in Smithfield in the City of London, founded in 1123 by Rahere, a former jester and courtier of King Henry I. The church survived the Great Fire of London and retains impressive Norman architecture including its 12th-century chancel, making it one of London's oldest and most complete medieval church interiors. It is a Grade I listed building that has served as a backdrop for numerous films and television productions owing to its remarkably preserved Romanesque fabric.
