St Nicholas Olave was a church in the City of London, on the west side of Bread Street Hill[1] in Queenhithe Ward. It was destroyed in the Great Fire of London and was never rebuilt. Instead the parish was united with that of St Nicholas Cole Abbey.[2]
History
The dedication of the church derives from the earlier amalgamation between two parishes: St Nicholas and St Olave Bradestrat, which was removed by the Austin Friars for the erection of their monastic buildings.[3] Described by John Stow as a “convenient church”[4] the parish had strong connections with the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers, many members of which were buried in the churchyard.[5] Its eminent organist William Blitheman also lay here.[6] Following the fire the parish was united with that of St Nicholas Cole Abbey[7] Some parish records survive.[8]
The site is currently occupied by Senator House.[9]
