St Martin Outwich, Medieval parish church at Threadneedle Street and Bishopsgate, England
The church occupied an oval floor plan with a recess at the east end, featuring decorated pilasters and a coved ceiling with semi-circular windows.
The original structure from 1540 withstood the Great Fire of London in 1666 but required demolition in 1795 due to deterioration and fire damage.
The building maintained strong connections with the Merchant Taylors' Company, which held patronage rights and contributed to its reconstruction in 1796.
The church underwent modifications in 1827, including the relocation of the pulpit from the west end to improve the seating arrangement for congregation members.
Following its 1874 demolition, eighteen monuments were moved to St Helen's Bishopsgate, while the bell found a new home at St Andrew's Church in Fulham.
