St Mildred, Poultry, Medieval parish church in City of London, England
The church building featured a 75-foot tower with a copper weather vane in the shape of a ship above its central pediment and Ionic pilasters.
Originally constructed in 1175 during Henry II's reign, St Mildred was rebuilt after the Great Fire of London in 1676 by architect Christopher Wren.
The church honored Saint Mildred, an Anglo-Saxon abbess of Minster in Kent from the 7th century, reflecting the influence of Kentish saints in London.
The parish merged with St Olave Old Jewry after its demolition in 1872, and later combined with St Margaret Lothbury when St Olave became inactive.
The church's weather vane, originally mounted on its tower, now stands atop St Olave Old Jewry on Ironmonger Lane in the City of London.
