The church of Saint Bartholomew the Less, West Smithfield, was founded in about 1184 as a chapel of Saint Bartholomew's Hospital. It was made a parish church when Henry VIII refounded the hospital. George Dance the Younger remodelled the interior in 1789, while the nave was rebuilt in 1823-25. The church was badly damaged in the Second World War and was reopened after restoration in 1956. Architect Inigo Jones was christened here in 1573; and many doctors and other staff from Saint Bartholomew's Hospital are buried here.
