Purported to be "the oldest church in the City of London" founded in or before AD 675. The church survived the Great Fire of London in 1666 but was severely damaged during the Blitz in 1940. It was rededicated in 1957 following extensive reconstruction. From 1922-62 the vicar was the Rev. Philip T.B. "Tubby" Clayton, and the church is still the guild church of Toc H, the international Christian organisation that he founded.



The churchyard was once larger, reduced when Tower Hill Terrace was created in the east and Tower Place in the south. Closed for burials in the 1850s it was being used as public open space by 1875. The remaining garden area lies at the east end of the church, with areas of grass, trees and shrubs with some tombs and gravestones.
