St Martin Outwich, one of the many parish churches of medieval London, survived the Great Fire in 1666 but was damaged by fire a century later; dilapidated, it was rebuilt at the end of the eighteenth century to an unusual oval plan. It was demolished in 1874, the Victorian period seeing another great cull of churches, this time on the grounds of shrinking population rendering them redundant.
