St.
Lawrence Jewry
| Situated
in the former medieval Jewish ghetto, it was destroyed in the Great
Fire of London (1666), rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren in 1687, extensively
damaged in WWII, and restored to Wren's original design in 1957 by
Cecile Brown. St. Lawrence was in charge of giving help to the poor and the needy. He was slowly burned to death on an iron grill for showing the poor and sick as the treasure of the Church. |
