St Giles-without-Cripplegate, Medieval Anglican church in Barbican Estate, London.
The stone building features a perpendicular Gothic architectural style with a prominent tower added in 1682 and large medieval windows.
The church survived three fires, including severe damage during World War II, and underwent complete restoration using original 1545 reconstruction plans.
The church contains the final resting place of John Milton, along with commemorative plaques for notable figures including John Foxe and Sir Martin Frobisher.
The church maintains regular Anglican services and functions as an active religious center within the Barbican Estate complex.
The church received twelve new bells cast in 1954, with an additional second bell created by Whitechapel Bell Foundry in 2006.
