This image shows shows the porch and bell tower of Rainham Parish Church of St Helen & St Giles in London, England. The Church of St. Helen & St. Giles is a Grade I listed building of high historical and architectural importance. It was built around 1170AD by Richard de Lucy, and despite some alterations, stands as it was built, with chancel, nave, aisles and tower. It is dedicated to St. Helen, or Helena (c. 247–327AD) who was reputedly British and by her marriage to a Roman Officer became the mother of Constantine the Great; and St. Giles ( century), who was Greek. Such a dedication is unique in the British Isles. There are three 17th century bells in the tower, which are no longer able to be rung due to their supports being too decayed. Source:
