It has been a little difficult to find time to write a blog while on holiday here, but I have found a few things worthy of mention. As all know, London is a city rich in museums and especially rich in collections relating to the Middle Ages. There are worthwhile images of St. James in the medieval collections of the Victoria & Albert and in the National Gallery. A fascinating little gem is the small Wren Church of St. James Garlickhythe. It is a little difficult to locate and even more difficult to access since one of its walls faces on a busy street without a pedestrian footpath. The short walk to the Church is well worthwhile, for the still active parish church includes all kinds of St. James symbols as part of its decoration.
