The old medieval church of St Pancras was almost abandoned when the new St Pancras church was built adjacent to Euston Square. It was eventually restored, retaining some of its early fabric and monuments. Its churchyard, containing the burials of many famous people, was disturbed by the construction of the Midland Railway. Some of these people are commemorated on a large sundial; other early monuments survive, most notably that of Sir John Soane, the architect, whose tomb is said to be the model for the red telephone box designed by Giles Gilbert Scott.
There will be a guided tour, led by Lester Hillman, of the restored medieval church and its churchyard. Lester has given several talks at NLU3A monthly meetings.
