Saint Mary's Woolnoth is situated on the site of a Roman temple
and was founded by a Saxon noble called Wulfnoth.
The
earliest records date back to 1273. It has been rebuilt and
repaired a few times; one being by Wren after the Great fire and
the other was by Nicholas Hawksmoor in 1716 as one of Queen Anne
50 new churches.
Within the church the organ dates back to 1681.
The
interior is like an Egyptian Hall and is one of Hawksmoor's
finest works.
Edward Lloyd founder of Lloyds coffee House in 1712 is buried
here.
