[edit] Recording?

It would be nice if there was a link to a recording of the bells.

[edit] Possible confusion

I'm sure the church has often been known as 'Bow Church', but this should not be confused with 'Bow Church' light railway station in Bow, East London. --Cedders^tk 12:01, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Londoners tend to define landmarks etc by their transport links, so London Transport (as was) tried hard to get these things right. There is no confusion about Bow Church: For at least eighty years the number 8 'bus has left Victoria Station with Bow Church written on the front.[1] Nobody is surprised when it passes St Mary-le-Bow in Cheapside and continues for another twenty-five minutes to Bow Church, in Bow. Similarly, there was no possibilty for confusion when Bow Church station was named in 1987. Old Moonraker 17:06, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wedding cake

I have heard that this church has inspired the shape of the wedding cake. any comments? (see [2])Deror 13:29, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

The external link you supply refers to St Bride's Church, not St Mary-le-Bow. This WP article says the architectural style employed was named after the cake, and not the other way around. I have added a "fact" request to the sentence you added to the article. However, there are a couple of blogs which do make this claim. --Old Moonraker 14:06, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Nobody's come up with anything, and now an editor has deleted it. Old Moonraker 15:35, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
