St. Katherine Cree was an old parish church located on the
north side of Leadenhall Street between Aldgate and St. Mary Axe. It was
in Aldgate Ward. The parish of St.
Katherine predates the Holy Trinity Priory, of which
St. Katherine’s became a part in 1108, and the church
survived the priory’s dissolution in 1531. According to a 1414 decree by the Bishop
of
London, the church was built so that the priory canons, who had previously shared
Christ Church with the laity, had a separate place to worship
(Harben; Weinreb and Hibbert 778). Stow reports that the church was so old that one had
to descend seven steps to enter it. He also adds that the church’s steeple and bell
tower,
built in 1504, were the most recent additions (Stow). St. Katherine Cree is also known by the
names St. Katherine and the Blessed Trinity and St. Katherine Christ Church. The Church is drawn on the Agas
map on the north side of Leadenhall Street, south of Holy Trinity Priory and east of the well in Aldgate Street. It has no label accompanying it.
