St Pancras New Church, London

William Inwood and his son and Henry Inwood designed this Greek Revival style church in 1822.

The Inwoods used two buildings in Athens as their inspiration: the Erechtheum and the Tower of the Winds.

It is Grade 1 listed, but as it's next to the exceedingly busy Euston Road it is stuggling with city life.

There is no area of London called St Pancras anymore, apart from immediately near to the St Pancras station, but 500 years ago it was more or less what we now call Camden.

Pancras was a 14 year old boy who was beheaded about 300AD in one of the last mass killings of Christians by the Romans before Emperor Constantine made Christianity Rome's official religion in 324AD.

The Basilica of San Pancrazio in Rome is built on the site of his burial. It was the custom to distribute 'relics' - the body parts of saints - to churches throughout Christian countries, and one story is that some relics were taken to England, and they named the village just north of London where they were buried after the boy.
