St Bartholomew-by-the-Exchange, Baroque church in City of London, England.

The church featured a three-bay west facade with round-headed windows and a Venetian window above the central entrance on Bartholomew Lane.

Originally recorded in the 13th century, the church was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666 and rebuilt by Christopher Wren between 1675 and 1683.

The remains of Myles Coverdale, who created the first complete English Bible translation, were interred in the church until its demolition in 1840.

The church site now houses banking facilities, including Royal Bank of Scotland premises, near the current Royal Exchange building.

This religious building was among the few Wren churches that incorporated a protruding chancel in its architectural design.
