St Alphage[1] London Wall[2] was a church in Bassishaw Ward in the City of London damaged but not destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666[3]. Rebuilt in 1777[4] it was scheduled for demolition in 1919[5], the bells going to St Peter’s Acton[6]. Amalgamated with St Mary Aldermanbury[7] it is now united with St Giles Cripplegate[8]. Today only the tower remains[9].
