Add PhotosSt. Benet's was one of the 86 parish churches destroyed in the Great Fire of London, and it was not selected to be rebuilt when the 1670 Act of Parliament became law. The parish was united to that of St Stephen Walbrook in the same year, but continued to be represented by its own churchwarden. In 1685, a church report judged the unification a success. Nearly two hundred years later, however, this arrangement was still capable of causing tension. Some of its parish records survive, and have been collated. The site is now occupied by No 1 Poultry. The site of the church was used as a burial-ground for the united parishes until closed by an Act of Parliament in 1853.It was excavated between 1994 and 1996, before the current office block was erected.
