History
The church of Saint Vedast Foster Lane stood on the east side of Foster Lane. It was dedicated to the bishop and patron saint of Arras. The church was rebuilt in 1519, repaired and enlarged in 1614, and destroyed in the Great Fire. It was rebuilt in 1670-3. A steeple was added in 1697-8. It was restored by Stephen Dykes Bower after sustaining bomb damage in 1941 and fitted out with furniture from other churches. It was united with the parishes of Saint Matthew, Friday Street (P69/MTW) and Saint Michael le Querne (P69/MIC4).
