The Inigo Jones church: St Paul's, Covent Garden
This is the quiet approach to the church from the west, through the churchyard. The east end of the building is far better known, with its great portico which doubles up as a stage for street performers: Image.
Architecturally, the church's most remarkable (and memorable) feature are its eaves. According to Sir John Summerson (in his little book, 'The Classical Language of Architecture') eaves like these were described by the Roman architect Vitruvius nearly 2,000 years ago - but Inigo Jones was the first to build them, circa 1630.
Over the centuries Inigo Jones' design has inspired others. An unmistakable instance is the former Shambles (1804) in Stamford, Lincolnshire: Image Rather grander is the old Corn Exchange in Winchester (circa 1837), recently refurbished as the 'Discovery Centre' Image Both of these reproduce Inigo Jones's portico, with its eaves and four columns. A modest rural example - less of a straight crib - is to be found in Lincolnshire: Image
In recent times Inigo's design has picked up something of a 'cult following' among architects - with some truly bizarre results:Image

The Inigo Jones church, Covent Garden: the eaves
A little passageway off Henrietta Street gives access to St Paul's churchyard. This is what you see if you approach from that direction.
The church's wide, projecting eaves are a memorable feature, highly distinctive. According to Sir John Summerson (in his little book, 'The Classical Language of Architecture') eaves like these were specified by the Roman architect Vitruvius nearly 2,000 years ago - but nobody built them this way before Inigo Jones, in the 1630's.
Over the centuries this building has inspired a number of designs around the country, see Image - and has continued to do so in recent times Image

Blue booth, St Paul's churchyard, Covent Garden
This rather startlingly blue item seems to arrived from a different dimension... Behind it is the wall of St Paul's Church.
