St Stephen's, Walbrook
St Stephen Walbrook is a church in the City of London, part of the Church of England's Diocese of London. The present domed building was erected to the designs of Sir Christopher Wren following the destruction of its medieval predecessor in the Great Fire of London in 1666. It is located in Walbrook, next to the Mansion House, and near to Bank and Monument Underground stations.
==Early history==
The original church of St Stephen stood on the west side of the Walbrook,〔White 1900, p.285〕 a stream running southwards across the City of London from the City Wall near Moorfields to the Thames.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Early History of St Stephen Walbrook )〕
The church was moved to its present site, on the east side of the Walbrook〔 (later concealed in a culvert),〔White 1900, p.63〕 in the 15th century. In 1429 Robert Chichely, acting as executor of will of the former Lord Mayor, Sir William Stondon, bought a piece of land on the east side of the Walbrook, and presented it to the parish.〔 Several foundation stones were laid at a ceremony on 11 May 1429, and the church was consecrated ten years later, on 30 April 1439.〔White 1900, p.288〕 At long and wide, it was considerably larger than the present building.〔White 1900, p.296〕
The church was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666.〔 It contained a memorial to the composer John Dunstaple. The wording of the epitaph had been recorded in the early 17th century, and was reinstated in the church in 1904, some 450 years after his death. The nearby church of St Benet Sherehog, also destroyed in the Great Fire, was not rebuilt; instead its parish was united with that of St Stephen.〔
