For this historic edifice stood on
Fleet street in the days when history
was being made. The old church was
erected previous to 1887. 1t stood 80
feet farther into the roadway, blocking
traffic. The street in those days was
a busy place. And as time went on 1t
grew more congested.

building shops and signs were crowded.
Booksellers stalls were frequent, for
Fleet street was the center of mob OF
writer's who formed a little Bohemia OF
their own. Within the shadow of the
church Charles Lamb was born.
One of the historic marks of the
church was an ancient clock on which
two figures struck the hour and the
quarters. This extended over the road
way and was delight to young lamb.
It was set up in 1911 and is referred to
in the writings of Cowper Congreve,
Wycherley, Goldsmith and others. The
clock was removed in 1880 to st. Dun
