Listing. Christianity in Greenwich goes back to 968, and a church has stood on the traditional site of the martyrdom of St Alfege since 1012. In his sixth year as Archbishop of Canterbury, Alfege was taken hostage by Viking raiders and murdered on 13 April. A new church was built around 1290.

Perhaps the most dominant building of the town centre is St Alfege Church, which marked the millennium of the martyrdom of St Alfege in 2012. The current building is a ‘coal-tax’ church of the early 18th century, designed by Hawksmoor, following the collapse of the medieval fabric in 1710.
