St Lawrence Jewry, London, Grade I listed church in City of London, England
Located next to the Guildhall, St Lawrence Jewry stands with four Corinthian columns supporting a pediment and features sunken panels decorated with wreaths.
The medieval church, destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666, was rebuilt by Christopher Wren between 1670 and 1677 in English Baroque style.
The church functions as the official religious venue for the Corporation of London, hosting ceremonies and events for the Lord Mayor of London.
Visitors can access the church from Monday to Friday between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with Holy Communion services on Mondays and Thursdays.
The church register of baptisms, made from vellum, survived the 1940 Blitz by shrinking rather than burning during the intense heat.
