St Ann Blackfriars, Medieval parish church in Farringdon Within, England
The stone building stood near the River Fleet with thick ragstone walls and featured Reigate stone architectural details measuring 19.7 meters in width.
The church began as a chapel within the Dominican Blackfriars Priory until Henry VIII dissolved it in 1550, leading to a new parish establishment in 1597.
The location's exemption from London Guild regulations attracted numerous artists, including van Dyck and Isaac Oliver, who established workshops in the parish.
The site now contains paved public gardens with visible gravestones, located near Ireland Yard in the City of London's Farringdon Within ward.
The only remaining physical evidence includes a wooden statue of St Ann, now housed in St Andrew by the Wardrobe church, and a memorial plaque in Church Entry Lane.
