St Gregory by St Paul's, Medieval parish church near St Paul's Cathedral, England
St Gregory by St Paul's stood adjacent to the south-west tower of St Paul's Cathedral with a distinctive square tower and steeple structure.
The church housed the body of King Edmund the Martyr for three years during Danish raids before its return to Bury St Edmunds.
The church belonged to minor canons of St Paul's Cathedral after Henry VI transferred its patronage from the royal crown.
No physical remnants exist today, as the church was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666 and merged with St Mary Magdalen parish.
Architect Inigo Jones attempted to demolish the church for cathedral renovations, leading to legal disputes with local parishioners.
