The church of St Mildred, Bread Street, stood on the east side of Bread Street in the Bread Street Ward of the City of London.[1] It was dedicated to the 7th century Saint Mildred the Virgin, daughter of Merewald, sub-king of the West Mercians.[2] Of medieval origin, the church was rebuilt to the designs of Sir Christopher Wren following its destruction in the Great Fire of London in 1666. One of the few City churches to retain Wren's original fittings into the 20th century,[3] St Mildred's was destroyed by bombs in 1941.
