the tower of wren's church of 1686-94 overlooks upper thames street, making a proud show with its crown of pinnacles, obelisks and vases and with swags and grotesques over the windows. the body of the church was demolished in 1871, and the tower only missed the same fate due to lobbying led by the architect ewan christian, which managed to get an act of parliament passed to spare the tower.

what looks like a funeral coat of arms of an english princess and her surviving husband, dated between 1816-37.
I think in all probability the princess charlotte, who married leopold of saxe-coburg, later king of belgium, and who was the heir to the throne when she died in childbirth in 1817, fits the bill.
