St Leonard, Foster Lane, Medieval church in Foster Lane, City of London, England.
St Leonard's architectural remains now form part of Postman's Park, where remnants of its historical structure can be observed in detail.
Founded in the 13th century by St Martin's dean and canons, the church served local inhabitants until its destruction in the Great Fire of 1666.
The burial ground of St Leonard became insufficient by 1579, leading to the expansion into the Dean's Garden area for additional space.
The former church location now sits within Postman's Park, accessible through the public pathways of the City of London.
English poet Francis Quarles received burial at St Leonard in 1644, marking the church's connection to literary figures of the period.
