St Mildred, Poultry, was a parish church in the Cheap ward[1] of the City of London dedicated to Anglo-Saxon Saint Mildred.[2] It was rebuilt after the Great Fire of London, and demolished in 1872. St Mildred in the Poultry was the burial place of the writer Thomas Tusser. Some description of the church and its monuments is given in John Stow's Survey of London.[3]
