Being Ascension Day, I was invited to St Magnus the Martyr for Choral Eucharist. The Church was built where people crossing the old London Bridge used to enter the City. The church was one of the first buildings to be destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666 as St Magnus stood less than 300 yards from the bakery of Thomas Farriner in Pudding Lane, where the fire started. Farriner, a churchwarden of St Magnus, was buried in the Church in December 1670. Michael Cooper (right), speaker at our Election Court Luncheon, is a Churchwarden and also Past Master of the Worshipful Company of Parish Clerks, who attend the service. The Sermon was delivered by the Bishop of Fulham, following which we processed to the Vintners’ Hall for Dinner, celebrating the Day itself, and the election of the incoming Master and Wardens.
