(St.) Katherine Coleman

A Dictionary of London by Henry A Harben.

On the south side of Fenchurch Street (P.O. Directory).

First mention found in records : "Sanctae Katerinae de Colman cherche," 1301 (Lib. Cust. I. 235). "St. Katherine or All Saints Colmanchurch" (Dugdale VI. (1) 155).

Stow says it was dedicated to St. Katherine and All Saints (S. 151), and the documentary evidence seems to point to the identity of this church with All Hallows Coleman-church (q.v.).

It seems also probable that in early times it was referred to as Colemanchurch (q.v.).

A Rectory. Patron : Bishop of London (Newcourt, I. 377).

Until the temp. H. VIII. and the dissolution of the monasteries, the living belonged to St. Martins le Grand (ib., and Lib. Cust. I. 235).

Not burnt in the Fire, but rebuilt in 1740. Archt., Horne.

Derivation of name : The addition of Coleman, Stow says, was taken of a great Haw, yard, or garden of olde time called "Coleman haw" partly in this parish (S. 151).

But if it is identical with Colemanchurch it may have been named after a builder or restorer of the church "Coleman," as in temp. H. II. it is referred to as "Colemanes chirche" (Anc. Deeds, A. 1900).

Fenchurch Street (q.v.) seems to have been called "Colmanstrete" at one time.
