| Description | Exterior view of the east facade and tower of the Church of St Margaret, Westminster. The view is taken looking across the Abbey Green. In the background can be seen the Clock Tower of the Palace of Westminster, known as Big Ben. The caption on the reverse of the postcard reads: 'St Margaret's Church, London - The building was erected in the reign of Edward I, but has undergone many restorations. Some portions date from the end of the fifteenth century. The memorial windows and monuments are mostly modern, though all of historical interest. The Speaker and Members of the House of Commons attend Service in this Church on special occasions, and it is also the scene of many fashionable weddings'. Postcard published by Valentine. |
