St Leonard’s Church in Shoreditch High Street was built between 1736 and 1740. The steeple at 192 feet tall is a landmark. This is the view from the entrance to the church looking out through the four-column giant Tuscan portico. The church is mentioned in the line "When I grow rich, say the bells of Shoreditch" from the nursery rhyme Oranges and Lemons.
