St John the Baptist upon Walbrook, Medieval church site in City of London, United Kingdom.

The church structure stood along the Walbrook stream, serving as a central religious institution for the surrounding community and parishes.

First documented in the 12th century, the church underwent significant renovations in 1412 and 1621 before its destruction in the Great Fire of 1666.

The parish registers, published by the Harleian Society in 1883, provide detailed records of baptisms, marriages, and burials from the medieval period.

Memorial tablets and a monument in Cloak Lane mark the former churchyard location, preserving the memory of this medieval religious site.

The church extended across four different wards of London: Walbrook, Cordwainer, Dowgate, and Vintry, reflecting complex medieval parish boundaries.
