- (St.) Edmund the King and Martyr
On the north side of Lombard Street at No. 58 east of Birchin Lane (P.O. Directory). In Langbourne Ward.
The parish in Langbourne and Cornhill Wards.
Earliest mention found in records : Given by Q. Maud, the wife of Henry I., to the Prior and Convent of Holy Trinity. In the MSS. D. and C. St. Paul, mention is made of the gift by Daniel the priest to St. Paul and the Canons, of the Church of St. Edmund in the 12th century (H. MSS. Com. 9th Rep. p. 64). Perhaps some arrangement was entered into between the Prior and the Canons which would account for the alternate presentation mentioned below.
