Christ Church, Newgate Street, also known as Christ Church Greyfriars, was a church in Newgate Street, opposite St Paul's Cathedral in the City of London. Following its destruction in the Great Fire of London of 1666, it was rebuilt to the designs of Sir Christopher Wren. Except for the tower, the church was largely destroyed by bombing during WW2. The ruins are now a public garden. After the Great Fire the church was united with St.Leonard, Foster Lane, which was not rebuilt. Robert BAGSHAW and Ursula COVENTRY married here, as did Alexander KIDWELL and Phebe TUBB, Samuel John MOLLETT and Margaret HOLLIDAY, Charles PENNY and Susannah BAGSHAW, William SARGEANT and Sarah Anne PICKERING and Charles WOOD and Anne PENNY. Three children of Thomas COCK were baptised here.
