St Giles-without-Cripplegate
St Giles-without-Cripplegate is a Church of England church in the City of London, located on Fore Street within the modern Barbican complex.〔"The City of London Churches" Betjeman,J Andover, Pikin, 1967 ISBN 0-85372-112-2〕 When built it stood without (that is, outside) the city wall, near the Cripplegate. The church is dedicated to St Giles, patron saint of beggars and cripples. It is one of the few medieval churches left in the City of London, having survived the Great Fire of 1666.〔"The London Encyclopaedia" Hibbert,C;Weinreb,D;Keay,J: London, Pan Macmillan, 1983 (rev 1993,2008) ISBN 978-1-4050-4924-5〕
==History==
There had been an initial Christian Saxon church on the site in the 11th century but by 1090 it had been replaced by a Roman Catholic Norman one. In 1394 it was rebuilt in the perpendicular gothic style.〔"The Old Churches of London" Cobb,G: London, Batsford, 1942〕 The stone tower was added in 1682.
The church has been badly damaged by fire on three occasions: In 1545, in 1897〔"The Visitors Guide to the City of London Churches" Tucker,T: London, Friends of the City Churches, 2006 ISBN 0-9553945-0-3〕 and during an air raid of the Blitz of the Second World War on the night of 24 August 1940.〔(History of St Giles' without Cripplegate )〕 German bombs completely gutted the church but it was restored using the plans of the reconstruction of 1545. A new ring of twelve bells was cast by Mears and Stainbank in 1954, and this was augmented with a sharp second bell cast in 2006 by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry.〔(Love's Guide to the Church Bells of the City of London )〕
The church was designated a Grade I listed building on 4 January 1950.〔 accessed 23 January 2009〕
