St Augustine Papey was a church on the south side
of the city wall and opposite the north end of
St. Mary Axe Street. The church dated from the
twelfth century and in 1442 a fraternity of brothers was installed (Harben). The church and brotherhood were suppressed
during the Reformation and Stow tells us the church was pulled down and houses
built on the site (Stow).
Stow calls the church
a proper [i.e. appropriate or suitable for the task] house(Stow). Stow is, however, mistaken about the origin of the church’s name. He states it was named after the fraternity of poor brothers, or Papey. But the church was known as
Sci augustini pappeyin 1244, two hundred years before the fraternity’s installation (Harben). Modern scholars have suggested that
Papeywould have been a reference to San Pietro in Pavia (Papia), where the relics of St. Augustine were kept (Harben).
St. Augustine Papey is featured on the Agas map and
bears the label
Papye.The church and its lands are clearly visible.
