St Giles-without-Cripplegate is an Anglican church in the City of London, located on Fore Street within the modern Barbican complex.[1] When built it stood without (that is, outside) the city wall, near the Cripplegate.[2] The church is dedicated to St Giles, patron saint of handicapped and infirm people of many different kinds. It is one of the few medieval churches left in the City of London, having survived the Great Fire of 1666.[3]
