London's All Hallows Staining has been placed on stilts 45ft above ground while construction of a skyscraper takes place

Nearer my God to thee...

A medieval London church tower has been suspended 45ft above the ground in what has been described as a “never-seen- before feat of engineering”.

The tower of All Hallows Staining was balanced on stilts above a 60,000 sq ft excavation site at 50 Fenchurch Street as part of a major City of London building project.

A “bottoming out” ceremony on Tuesday came after the removal of more than 125,000 tonnes of earth beneath the tower to make way for a 650,000 sq ft office tower.
