The clock on the Church stopped at twenty past two, the time at which it was hit. In the top photograph, the flag of St. George still defiantly flies on a temporary flag pole on the pavement beside the building. The body of the Church was too unsafe to leave standing and was taken down. Only the Church tower, known more commonly these days as "The Clock Tower", was eventually restored and still stands in the same location today still sporting the large clock which overhangs the Street.

The Church of St. Mary Bredin was also destoyed at this time and some of the Parish Records which did survive still show scorching on their covers. Other Churches that received some damage during the initial raid were St. Martin's and the Roman Catholic Church of St. Thomas. In the raid two nights later on June 2nd/3rd, the Congregational Church in Watling Street was set on fire by incendiaries and was also destroyed.
