• London’s Alleys: Church Yard Walk, Paddington, W2

    This is a short open passage that splits a church and its former graveyard, and was once likely a full-sized road, making this an early example of pedestrianisation.The passage sits alongside St Mary on Paddington Green, a church that has been a place of worship for at least 800 years. Originally a chapel to St Catherine, it was rebuilt as a parish church in 1678 and dedicated to St James.
    The current church, consecrated to St Mary in 1791, was built on a site slightly to the south of the origin
