One of the many buildings taking part in this year's Open House weekend is St Alfege's church.  The present church was designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor, who trained under Sir Christopher Wren, working with him on the Greenwich Royal Naval College.

John Flamsteed - the first Astronomer Royal - worshipped here; General Wolfe - the hero of Quebec - was buried here; John Julius Angerstein - the inspiration for Lloyd's insurance - was Churchwarden; and General Gordon - overwhelmed by the Mahdi at Khartoum - was baptised here.

Royal Arsenal Woolwich, Old Royal Naval College and Charlton House are also taking part in Open House - see the calendar for more details.
