The church was first mentioned around 1200 but the present church was designed by Christopher Wren and built between 1686 and 1690. The interior has a nave and south aisle. The interior is one of the finest if not the finest in the City and contains many furnishings collected from lost City of London churches. The chancel screen came from All Hallows the Great and runs right across the church. It is one of two surviving Wren screens. The base of the south aisle screen, came from St Olave Jewry. The reredos at the end of the south aisle came from St Olave Jewry and the paintings of Moses and Aaron on the east wall date from around 1700 and came from St Christopher-le-Stocks. The screen to the south aisle dates from 1891. The top of the pulpit came from All Hallows the Great.
