St. Michael, Crooked Lane, Baroque church in City of London, England.

The church featured a Portland stone tower reaching 100 feet in height, with a perforated parapet and vases positioned at its angles.

Built in 1304 near the butchers of Eastcheap, the church was reconstructed after the Great Fire of London in 1687 by Christopher Wren.

The church recorded the first cases of the plague in 1665, marking a significant moment in London's medical history.

The structure remained at its location until 1831, when it was removed to create space for expanded access routes to London Bridge.

A commemorative stained glass window at St Magnus the Martyr Church preserves the memory of this former parish church.
