St Matthews Friday Street

Friday Street used to extend much further north, meeting Cheapside just to the east of Gutter Lane. At this northern end its route has been approximately followed by the north-south shopping mall through One New Change. This shows St Matthews church near the north end of this Street, on the west side.

Recorded since the 13th century, destroyed in the Great Fire, rebuilt by Wren. Due to the depopulation of the City this church became redundant, was demolished 1886 and the parish was joined to St Vedast alias Foster.
