St Ethelburga's

Buit in the 13th century, St Ethelburga's survived the Great Fire and WWII only to succumb to an Irish Republican Army (IRA) bomb in 1993. It's been partly restored and turned into a center for reconciliation and peace, but there's not a lot to see inside. The highlight is a peaceful little rear garden, completely overshadowed by surrounding construction. Behind it, a yurt has been fitted with faux stained glass and is used for interfaith meetings.
