Charles Church

The building of Charles Church in Plymouth was completed in 1657 and consecrated in 1665. It burnt out on the night of 21st and 22 nd March 1941, the fire being caused by some of the very many incendiary bombs that fell on the City of Plymouth that night. The church was not rebuilt, but it is the City's memorial to the civilians killed in the Blitz. Today, the ruin is situated in the middle of one of the busiest roundabouts in Plymouth.
