Bells of St. Clement Danes
The Bells of St Clement Danes, (a church situated outside the Royal Courts of Justice on the Strand, London) prior to their re-hanging in 1919. Designed by Wren in 1682, the church now functions as the central church of the Royal Air Force. The Bells of St Clements are mentioned in the Oranges and lemons poem/song (first printed in the mid 18th century, but arguably far older), which provides a historical link to the citrus fruits unloaded at nearby wharves on the River Thames. In this photograph the bells are wreathed with oranges and lemons Date: 1919

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Bells of St. Clement Danes, an iconic landmark situated outside the Royal Courts of Justice on London's Strand, prior to their re-hanging in 1619. Designed by Sir Christopher Wren in 1682, St. Clement Danes now functions as the central church of the Royal Air Force. The church's bells, with their distinctive Wren-designed bell tower, have been immortalized in the traditional English rhyme "Oranges and Lemons," which provides a historical link to the citrus fruits unloaded at nearby wharves on the River Thames. In this image, the bells are wreathed in oranges and lemons, adding a vibrant and festive touch before their removal for restoration. The Bells of St. Clement Danes have rung out for centuries, marking the passing of time and the rich history of this iconic London landmark.
