John Newton and St. Mary Woolnoth

Last week, December 17, 2008, Tom and Bonnie and I went to London and stopped in front of St. Mary Woolnoth. This is the church were John Newton (Amazing Grace) became Rector after he left Olney in 1780. This was a most important church as it was the parish church of the Lord Mayor of London.





John Newton was Rector here until his death in 1807.




Tom and Bonnie stood outside, while I snapped this photo.




Looking down the street from the church steps, this is the view.
