Significance of this rather unique edifice

edit

This medieval church likely lost much of its charm, and thereby historical significance, having been tidied up by the Victorians into a functional parish church of the day. It was the local Middlesex parish church of the Bishop of London for a millenium, in contrast to St Paul's Cathedral, the diocesan cathedral in London itself. Analogous to it might be the church of St Mary-at-Lambeth, next to Lambeth Palace, which served as a parish church for the Archbishop of Canterbury when he resided in London, but is now a Garden Museum. These alterations over time, both by reason of religious practice and institutional adaptations, have meant that some buildings are no longer appreciated for their significance, apart from any architectural merits, or lack thereof.
