Milton's London
Over the weekend (been delayed posting as I was busy and then just lazy), I did a tour on Milton's London- as in John Milton of Paradise Lost and other famous works that I've never read. Sorry to confess as an English major that I only read one or two things by Milton and hated them both- so no desire to improve my mind by reading anymore. But as he is the most famous writer that was born and lived in London for most of his life- he had a couple of stints in prison, I thought I should at least pay my respects to the man.
St Giles Cripplegate- where Milton is buried, couldn't get in as most City Churches are closed on the weekend
Hard to read but says that Milton was baptised in a church closeby since taken down. Milton was born and died before the Great Fire.

St Mary's where Milton was married for the third time. He was rather infamously unhappily married and wanted to get divorced but lucked out when she died.
