St Michael Bassishaw, or Basinshaw, was a parish church in Basinghall Street in the City of London,[1] standing on land now occupied by the Barbican Centre complex. Recorded since the 12th century, the church was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666, then rebuilt by the office of Sir Christopher Wren. The rebuilt church was demolished in 1900.
