The church of Saint Lawrence Pountney is referred to in medieval documents by several different names: Saint Lawrence next the Thames, Saint Lawrence in Candlewigstrate, and Saint Lawrence de Lundenstane. In 1334 the church was converted into a college with a master and seven chaplains by John de Poulteney, and the name was changed. The college was dissolved between 1547 and 1553 and the church became a parish church again. The church was destroyed in the Great Fire of London and was not rebuilt, and in circa 1670 the parish was united with Saint Mary Abchurch. The church of Saint Mary Abchurch was rebuilt by Christopher Wren between 1681 and 1696. Saint Mary Abchurch is now one of the City of London's Guild Churches.
