St Benet Sherehog was a mediaeval church built before 1111 (Betjeman 1967, 92) situated at 1 Poultry in Cornwainer Ward in the then wool-dealing district of the City of London (a shere hog is a castrated ram after first-shearing). It was one of the 86 churches destroyed in the Great Fire of London and was not selected to be rebuilt when the 1670 Act of Parliament became law(Huelin, 1996). It was united to St Stephen Walbrook in that year, but continued to be represented by its own churchwarden (Reynolds 1922). In 1685 a church report judged the unification a success(Hallows, 1954). Nearly 200 years later this arrangement was still capable of causing tension (Times, 1843). Some of its parish records survive [1] and have been collated (Bannerman,1920). Known as the “Lost Church of St Benet” [2] it was excavated between 1994 and 1996 (Miles et al, 2007) before the current office block was erected.
