This church being destroyed by the fire of London, was rebuilt, and
is still possessed by the French and Walloons, who here perform
divine service, after the manner of the church of England, in the
French tongue; but though it is a pretty large and commodious
edifice, it is not sufficient to accommodate all the communicants;
they therefore make an exchange with the Dutch church in Austin
Friars every first Sunday in the month, where the Lord’s supper is
constantly administered in French, the Dutch preaching on that day
in the French church in Threadneedle street.
FRENCH EPISCOPAL CHURCH, on the east side of St. Martin’s lane. Here
originally stood the parish church of St. Martin’s Ongar; that
edifice was almost destroyed by the fire of London, but part of the
steeple of the old church remains; this has a dial which hangs over
into the street, and the parish is united to St. Clement’s East
Cheap. However, as part of the tower and nave remained, and was
found capable of repairs, after the above dreadful conflagration, a
body of the French protestants of the church of England, obtained a
lease of them of the Minister and Churchwardens, which was confirmed
by an act of parliament; and a church was erected for their use, in
which divine service is still performed after the manner of the
church of England. _Maitland._
