Biographical history

The church of Saint Bartholomew by the Exchange, Bartholomew Lane, was also referred to as Little Saint Bartholomew and Saint Bartholomew the Less (although it should not be confused with Saint Bartholomew the Less, West Smithfield, P69/BAT4). It was first mentioned in records in 1150. The church was destroyed during the Great Fire of London in 1666, but was rebuilt by Wren in 1674-1679. In 1840 it was demolished as part of the construction of the new Royal Exchange. The parish was united with the parish of Saint Margaret Lothbury (P69/MGT1).
