The churchyard is raised above
Martin Lane, and despite first appearances there is no
trace of the church. It was destroyed in the Great Fire -
apart from its tower, which for many years was the City
home of the French Protestants. Later, it formed the
entrance to the burial ground. However, in 1852 the
architect James Davies constructed a mock-tower in the
corner of the site as a Rectory to St Clement Eastcheap,
in which parish this now was, and the old tower was
demolished. This Victorian folly is now offices, and the
burial ground is its garden.
