The first mention of the church of Saint Benet Fink dates to 1216. According to historian John Stow, it was named after a Robert Fink (or Finch) who paid for the building. The church was destroyed during the Great Fire of London in 1666. Wren designed a replacement in 1670-1673; however the building was demolished in 1842-1843 to make way for the new Royal Exhange. The parish was united to Saint Peter le Poer (P69/PET2).The church of Saint Benet Fink, Tottenham, was built using the proceeds from the sale of the site.

The archives of the united parishes (St Michael Cornhill, St Benet Fink, St Peter le Poer) have been deposited in the Manuscripts Section of Guildhall Library at various dates since the late 19th century. The most recent deposit was in 1998. The Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section merged with the London Metropolitan Archives in 2009.
