St Peter, Paul's Wharf, was a Church of England parish church in the City of London.[1] It was destroyed in the Great Fire in 1666.[2]
First mentioned in the 12th century,[3] it stood to the north of Upper Thames Street in Queenhithe Ward.[4] The parish was defiant in continuing to use the Book of Common Prayer[5] during the Civil War.[6]
St Peter's was, along with most of the City's other parish churches, destroyed by the Great Fire in 1666. A Rebuilding Act was passed and a committee set up under Sir Christopher Wren to decide which would be rebuilt.[7] Fifty-one were chosen, but St Peter Paul's Wharf[8] was not among them.[9] Following the fire, the parish was united with that of St Benet Paul's Wharf.[10]
