GB 0074 P69/CRI 1483-1908 Collection 1.57 linear metres Parish of St Christopher le Stocks, City of London , Church of England

Saint Christopher Le Stocks was constructed before 1225 on the banks of the Walbrook stream, which used to run through the City from Finsbury to the Thames. It was also known as Saint Christopher on Cornhill and Saint Christopher on Bread Street; but later came to be known after the nearby Stocks Market. The church was damaged during the Great Fire in 1666 but was rebuilt by Wren in 1670-71. Much of the older church was saved and incorporated into the new design. The church was demolished in 1781-82 and the Dividend Warrant Office was built on the site.

History of the united parishes of Saint Margaret Lothbury, Saint Martin Pomeroy, Saint Bartholomew by the Exchange, Saint Mildred Poultry, Saint Mary Colechurch, Saint Olave Jewry and Saint Christopher le Stocks:

The church of Saint Margaret Lothbury was first mentioned in the 12th century. It was destroyed in the Great Fire and was rebuilt in 1690. The parish of Saint Christopher le Stocks was united to Saint Margaret Lothbury on the demolition of the church in 1781. In 1839 Saint Bartholomew by the Exchange was added when its church was also demolished. The parishes of Saint Martin Pomeroy, Saint Mary Colechurch and Saint Olave Jewry, united to each other in 1670, and Saint Mildred Poultry (united to them in 1871) were added in 1886.
