St Benet Sherehog, Medieval church building in Cordwainer Ward, City of London, England
The church site at No1 Poultry was constructed before 1111 and featured architectural elements typical of early medieval London religious structures.
Following the Great Fire of London in 1666, St Benet Sherehog joined 85 other parish churches in destruction and was not selected for reconstruction.
Matthew Griffith served as rector from 1640 to 1642, delivering sermons until his imprisonment for preaching about public peace at St Paul's Cathedral.
The former church grounds functioned as a burial site for united parishes until 1853, when closure was enforced through parliamentary legislation.
The name Sherehog derives from a castrated ram after its first shearing, though it was originally dedicated to St Osyth.
