St Christopher le Stocks, Medieval church building in Threadneedle Street, City of London, England
The church occupied the north side of Threadneedle Street, measuring 72 feet in length, 52 feet in width, with a tower reaching 80 feet.
The earliest mention of St Christopher le Stocks dates to 1282, receiving notable endowments in 1427 and 1506 before its reconstruction after the 1666 Great Fire.
The church featured Gothic architectural elements combined with Tuscan pillars and contained a wooden ceiling divided into rectangular decorative panels.
The structure was removed in 1781 to expand the Bank of England, with the parish merging into St Margaret Lothbury and burials relocated to Nunhead Cemetery.
The upper panels of the original pulpit from Wren's 1671 rebuilding survive at St Nicholas Church Canewdon in Essex.
