St Peter's Church, Paul's Wharf, London, England





Tree: Seaver-Bilyeu-Lowell
Notes: Returning to Thames Street, and proceeding westward, we arrive at the site of the parish church of

St. PETER THE LITTLE, Or St. PETER, PAUL's WHARF.

THIS was so called on account of being a small edifice; but it is of ancient foundation, as appears by its being noticed in 1181, when it is stated to have belonged to the canons of St. Paul's cathedral, who received a rent of 12d. by the hands of Radulphus the priest; that it paid for synodals 4d. and to the archdeacon 12d. but had no cemetery.

Here occurred a circumstance rather extraordinary, considering the time; it was famous for many years during the Usurpation, for the exercise of the Liturgy of the church of England, and the dispensation of the sacrament according to that liturgy; which was suffered to proceed with such little interruption, that many of the nobility and gentry resorted to the Divine service, and the galleries for their accommodation was richly hung with Turkey carpets, &c.

On St. Peter's church having been destroyed by the fire, the ground on which it stood was converted to a burial place, and the parish united to that of St. Bennet, Paul's Wharf.
