St Stephen Walbrook is undoubtedly one of Wren’s finest City Churches. Its dome, the first of its type in England, is generally understood to be the prototype for St Paul’s Cathedral.
St Stephen’s was re-ordered in the 1980’s and includes the controversial Henry Moore Altar commissioned by Lord Palumbo which stands unusually at the centre of the church.
Light Perceptions designed four new Flemish pendants, replacing smaller fittings – also commissioned by Lord Palumbo. Sophisticated spotlight provides light for numerous events and filming of services for The Internet Church which is based here.
