St Olave Silver Street, Medieval church ruins in City of London, England
The stone tablet and remaining gravestones mark the location where St Olave Silver Street church stood before the Great Fire of London.
Originally named St Olave de Mukewellestrate in the twelfth century, this church served the local community until its destruction in September 1666.
The church dedicating to St Olaf, the first Christian King of Norway, reflects the Norwegian influence in medieval London's religious architecture.
The site functions as a public garden near London Wall road, containing historical markers and providing a green space in the city.
The churchyard served as burial ground for bodies dissected at Barber-Surgeons Hall, earning the nickname 'anatomizer's ground' in Noble Street.
