St Olave's Church, Old Jewry, sometimes known as Upwell Old Jewry,[1] was a church in the City of London located between the street called Old Jewry and Ironmonger Lane. Destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666, the church was rebuilt by the office of Sir Christopher Wren.[2] The church was demolished in 1887, except for the tower and west wall, which remain today.
