St Alfege Church, Greenwich

The church is dedicated to Alfege, Archbishop of Canterbury, and reputedly marks the place where he was martyred on 19 April 1012, having been taken prisoner during the sack of Canterbury by Danish raiders the previous year. The Danes took him to their camp at Greenwich, and killed him when the large ransom they demanded was not forthcoming.[1]
The church was rebuilt in around 1290. It was in this building that Henry VIII was baptised in 1491.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable morning in Greenwich before taking the Clipper to Bankside and then walked along the South Bank to Westminster.
