St. Olave (Old Jewry)

St. Olave, Old Jewry was a church located on the west side of Old Jewry in Coleman Street Ward close to its boundary with Cheap Ward (Harben). The 1520 map erroneously locates the church on the east side of Old Jewry (A Map of Tudor London, 1520). It is labelled St Olave, Jewry on Carlin and Belcher’s 1270 map of London (Carlin and Belcher) and St Olave on the 1520 map (A Map of Tudor London, 1520).
The church was repaired in 1608 and 1628 and rebuilt following its destruction in the Great Fire of London in 1666 (Harben). Following the fire, St. Olave, Old Jewry was united to the parishes of St. Martin Pomary, St. Mary Colechurch, and St. Mildred, Poultry (Harben). St. Olave, Old Jewry gave its name to the court that surrounds the modern structure, St. Olave’s Court.
