More about this scene
This view, until 1886 concealed by houses, shows the tall, elegant west tower of the parish church now dominating St Mary's Butts. Although there was a Norman church here, it was mostly rebuilt with stone, flint and timber salvaged from Reading Abbey after its dissolution in 1539. The tower dates from 1550 to 1553.
