St Stephen Coleman Street, Baroque church building in City of London, England.

The Christopher Wren designed church stood at the intersection of Coleman and Gresham Streets, featuring brick walls covered in stucco and Portland stone accents.

After serving as a chapel under St Paul's Cathedral, the church obtained parochial status in 1456 and was later rebuilt following the Great Fire of 1666.

The church emerged as a center for Puritanism in the early 1600s, with John Davenport serving as vicar before departing for the New England colonies.

The structure measured 75 feet in length and 35 feet in width, containing a flat ceiling, round-headed windows, and an organ gallery.

Five members of Parliament found refuge in the church during 1642 while King Charles I's troops conducted searches through London.
