All Hallows Staining Church Tower

Sky news reports:

A medieval church tower has been suspended 45ft (14 metres) above the ground as part of a building project in the City of London.

The tower of the 700-year-old All Hallows Staining Church was balanced on stilts in what developers called a “never seen before feat of engineering”.

It was raised above a 60,000 square foot (5,574 square metre) excavation site as part of the redevelopment of 50 Fenchurch Street.
