Designed by the Scottish architect James Gibbs in 1726, St Martin-in-the-Fields has been completely restored for the first time with many of its Victorian additions removed and replaced by features truer to Gibbs’s plan. On our guided tour, we learn about Gibbs’s original baroque design and explore the church and crypt and see the Royal Box where the Hanoverian kings worshipped.
