Geschiedenis
The church of Saint Antholin was an ancient church, which was destroyed during the Great Fire of London in 1666. The parish was united with Saint John the Baptist Walbrook (P69/JNB), and the church was rebuilt by Wren in 1678. It was described as one of his finest buildings, but was destroyed in 1875 after the parish was merged with the united parish of Saint Mary Aldermary (P69/MRY2) and Saint Thomas Apostle (P69/TMS1). The money made from the sale of the site was put towards the construction of Saint Antholin, Peckham, and the reredos was transferred to the new church. Part of the spire was sold to the Forest Hill Social Club and stands in their garden.
