St Gregory's

From 1618-1623 Adams was preacher or lecturer at St Gregory's, known as St Gregory By [St] Paul's. It was situated near St Paul's EC4. First mentioned in 1010, it stood at the south-west corner of the cathedral. Repaired and beautified 1631-2, it was partly demolished by Inigo Jones in 1641 to make way for new portico but restored by him by order of the House of Lords. It was destroyed in the Great Fire and not rebuilt.

(The parish was united with St Mary Magdalen, Old Fish Street in 1670, St Martin Ludgate in 1890 and St Sepulchre, Holborn in 1954). See here.
