Medieval church The church was in existence by 1346, when the name of a rector is recorded. In about 1489, William White, then Lord Mayor, rebuilt or added the south aisle. As described by Edward Hatton in 1708, the church was long, wide and ft high. There was a brick and stone tower about high, with three bells. Hatton describes the architecture of the church as being "of the Gothic and Tuscan orders". at the expense of the parish, to a "vernacular palladian" design by James Horne. Never regarded as one of the more spectacular City churches, the new building was constructed of brick, with window and door surrounds of rusticated stonework. The interior was a plain room, with a flat ceiling, coved at the sides, ornamented with a single oval panel, with a flower at the centre. An arched recess at the east end accommodated the reredos. Beneath the church was a burial vault, entered through a door at the west end.
Demolition The parish was designated for amalgamation under the
Union of Benefices Act 1860 but the church remained in use until 1926. The final service was held on 20 November, a joyous occasion (as reported in the
City Press) after which it was quickly demolished. The gate piers and railings of the churchyard, which probably date from the 18th century survive, and the site of the churchyard itself is now a public garden, owned by
Lloyd's Register. It was re-landscaped in 1996–2000. The marble font from the City church is now at St Peter's, Grange Park,
Enfield. == Notes ==
