caption_attribution_description: English: St Paul&#39;s Hammersmith: interior, near to Hammersmith, Hammersmith And Fulham, Great Britain. The interior of the church was changed first in the 1970s when the pews and chancel fittings were removed, and again with a major restoration completed in 2010. This view shows the light Bath stone of the walls (which had become darkened over the years by pollution and had to be cleaned up) and the naturally dark marble of the columns.
context_page_description: St Paul's is a Grade II* listed Anglican church at Queen Caroline Street, Hammersmith, London W6, adjacent to Hammersmith flyover, and only a short walk from Hammersmith tube station.
context_section_description: The internal dimensions of St Paul's Church are: length 190 ft (57.9m), width 73 ft (22.25 m), height 63 ft (19.2m). It was designed to seat 1,400 people. The walls are of brown Ancaster stone, with Belgian marble used for the clustered columns and wall-linings. There are six bays, formed by the five main columns on each side, with white and blue Bath stone used for the arches and some carved decoration.
  The most interesting feature inside the church is a bust of King Charles I, sculpted by Hubert Le Sueur and erected by Sir Nicholas Crispe. After the King's execution in 1649, the heart of Crispe, enclosed in a small urn, was placed below this monument. The inscription on the urn reads:
  In 1898 his body and heart were both moved to a new tomb.
  The pulpit came from the former church of All-Hallows-the-Great in the City of London.
  There is also a memorial to William Tierney Clark, designer of the first Hammersmith Bridge, in the church.
  The stained glass windows of the church were made by Clayton and Bell. Those on the north side depict the life of Saint Paul, the apostle of the Church; while those on the south side depict the life of Saint Peter, the other apostle who is usually paired with Paul.
