St Martin Pomary, Medieval church building in Ironmonger Lane, City of London, England
St Martin Pomary was a church building on the east side of Ironmonger Lane in the City of London. The structure displayed simple medieval architecture with a cemetery occupying its grounds.
The building first appeared in written records between 1175 and 1179 during Henry II's reign. It served its parish community until the Great Fire of 1666 destroyed it.
The name comes from the Latin word 'pomarium', meaning an apple orchard that stood near this church during medieval times. Locals used this distinctive name to separate this place from other religious buildings in the area.
The site lies today within a modern business district and remains accessible as public ground. Visitors can walk through the area where the former cemetery once occupied space alongside the financial sector.
St Bartholomew's Priory received annual payments from this church, collected by its infirmarer until the Reformation. This financial link reveals how religious institutions were connected across medieval London.
