Having recently visited the Priory Church of St Bartholomew-the-Great I thought that I should make a visit to the smaller church, set within the grounds of St Bartholomew's Hospital, St Bartholomew-the-Less.
As I expected from the name this church is definitely smaller, but it still has a long and fascinating history.

Considering the darkness that seems to have taken a hold of the interior of St Bartholomew-the Great, it was nice to enter a bright church, which seemed, at least to me, to be much more modern.
However, as it turns out, the Less is only a few years younger than the Great, having been established in around 1184.
I was thankful that it was still early in the day, so that I had the chance to explore the church without interruption.

After a good look around and after taking plenty of photographs I made my way out into the hospital grounds. Well, since I was there and I do work in a hospital myself it only seemed the right thing to do.
