St Martin Orgar, Medieval church ruins in Cannon Street, England.

The remains of St Martin Orgar stand on Martin Lane, featuring a reconstructed tower that now serves as the campanile of St Clement Eastcheap.

Originally donated by a Danish patron named Ordgarus to St Paul's canons, the church suffered extensive damage during the Great Fire of London in 1666.

The French Protestant community utilized the surviving structure for worship services until 1820, marking a period of religious diversity in London.

Modern visitors can locate the former church site at 29 Martin Lane, where fragments of the original churchyard remain visible south of the campanile.

The church name appears in traditional English nursery rhyme 'Oranges and Lemons', which references various London churches through their bells.
