Inside St Magnus-the-Martyr Church, on Lower Thames Street, is a remarkable model of the Medieval London Bridge.
This four-metre long model was built by David T Aggett, a member of the Metropolitan Police. He was also a keen model maker and this model of Old London Bridge took him almost three years to complete.
The model shows how Old London Bridge would have looked in 1400 and is built, predominantly, from cardboard boxes.
He was also a liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Plumbers, so he donated the model to the Church, which is the church of the Worshipful Company of Plumbers.
As a little joke he placed a Metropolitan Policeman on the bridge, which people can seek to find when admiring the model.
Besides the Policeman there are countless other figures going about their daily routines, which can bring a smile to your face.
St Magnus-the-Martyr Church was once the entrance way to the old London Bridge, before the bridge was demolished and moved 30 metres to the west. So, it is fitting that the model resides here.
