L'habitant
St Martin-in-the-Field. The nave seen from the baptistry.
The Paschal candle marks the site in the northwest corner, of the Baptistry. Looking across the nave are the original box pews, somewhat lowered since Victorian times. The church is brilliantly lit by two ranges of windows. The original barrel vaulted ceiling can be seen with detail of the beautifully ornate 1726 plasterwork carried out by two Italian masters, Giovanni Bagutti and Guiseppe Artun. The ceiling is supported on Corinthian columns. Some of the wonderful chandeliers can also be glimpsed.
