The church of Saint Peter le Poer on Old Broad Street was first mentioned in 1181. The church was enlarged and repaired in 1615-30; and escaped serious damage during the Great Fire of London in 1666. By 1788 the church was in a poor state of repair and jutted out into Broad Street, obstructing traffic. It was rebuilt by 1792. In 1907 it was demolished. The site and materials were sold and the proceeds went towards the construction of Saint Peter le Poer, Friern Barnet.

The parish of Saint Benet Fink was united to the parish of Saint Peter le Poer in 1842. The parish of Saint Michael Cornhill was united to the parishes of Saint Benet Fink and Saint Peter le Poer in 1906.
