Biographical history

Greenwich was a riverside settlement lying south of the River Thames in Kent, later part of London. Its parish church of Saint Alfege was a mediaeval foundation, erected to commemorate the martyrdom of Archbishop Alfege by the Danes (in 1012). After the roof collapsed in 1710 the church was rebuilt in the Baroque style by Nicholas Hawksmoor in 1711 to 1714 with money granted under the Fifty New Churches Act (1711), and consecrated in 1718. It stands near the junction of Greenwich Church Street and Greenwich High Road.
