St Antholin, Budge Row, Medieval church building in City of London, England
The church building featured an octagonal stone spire rising 154 feet high, with horizontal ribs and openings at its base.
First documented in 1119, St Antholin burned during the Great Fire of London in 1666 and was rebuilt by Christopher Wren between 1678 and 1684.
The church established morning lectures in 1559, with bells ringing at 5 am to gather worshippers for religious teachings.
The site sold for 44,990 pounds in 1875, with the proceeds funding construction of a new St Antholin church in Nunhead, South London.
The removed spire section from 1829 stands today at Round Hill House in Sydenham, purchased by printer Robert Harrild for 5 pounds.
