Old church taken down and new built 1538, partly out of the oblations made to the Roode set up in the Churchyard (S. 211). Building delayed by fire (ib.).

Repaired and beautified 1614,1632 (Strype, ed. 1720, I. ii. 170).

Burnt in the Great Fire and rebuilt, completed about 1687 (ib.).

After the Fire the parish of St. Gabriel Fenchurch was united to it.

A Rectory. Patron : J. de Nevill, 10 Ed. I. and until after 1392. In 1411 it was given by Whittington and others to the Mayor and Commonalty, in whose hands it has remained ever since (Newcourt, I. 407).

It has a tower and lofty wooden spire, and there is some fine wood carving in the church.

The inventories commence in 1470, and there are churchwardens' accounts.

Stow says it was so called of Pattens made and sold there of old time (S. 211).

Kingsford suggests the family of "Patin" mentioned in 12th century deed of St. Paul's (H. MSS. Com. 9th Rep. 62, 63) (Kingsford, ed. Stow II. 310), and this agrees with the early forms set out above.
