The Church of St Sidwell, Sidwell Street, Exeter, Devon

The origins of the Church of St Sidwell date back to Saxon times. It was rebuilt in 1812 by the then relatively unknown architect William Burgess. A chancel was added in 1871 and the tower was rebuilt in 1900. A high explosive bomb dropped on the morning of 4 May 1942 caused severe damage to the church. It was completely replaced in 1957-8 by a new church designed by local architects Lucas, Roberts & Brown.
