St Martin Pomary [ [http://london.lovesguide.com/navigation/churches_closed.htm Also known as St Martin Iremoner] ] was a church in the City of London.
The Mortality Bill for the year 1665, published by the "Parish Clerk’s Company", shows 97 parishes within the City of London. [ "The ancient office of Parish Clerk and the Parish Clerks Company of London" Clark, O :London, Journal of the Ecclesiastical Law Society Vol 8, January 2006 ISSN: 0956-618X ] By September 6th the city lay in ruins, 86 churches having been destroyed. [ The "Churches of the City of London" Reynolds,H: London, Bodley Head, 1922] In 1670 a Rebuilding Act was passed and a committee set up under the stewardship of Sir Christopher Wren to decide which would be rebuilt. [ "Wren" Whinney,M London Thames & Hudson, 1971 ISBN 0500201129] Fifty-one were chosen, but St Martin Pomary on the east side of Ironmonger Lane, Cheapside [“Notes on Old City Churches: their organs, organists and musical associations” Pearce,C.W.: London, Winthrop Rogers Ltd, 1909] in Cheap Ward was one of the unlucky minority never to be rebuilt. [ "The City of London Churches" Betjeman, J. Andover, Pitkin, 1967 (rpnt 1992) ISBN 0853725659 ] Its dedication derives from a Latin reference to it being “an open space near a boundary wall" ["A Dictionary of London" Harben,H: London, Herbert Jenkins, 1918] . Its patronage was originally in the hands of the Prior of St Bartholomew-the-Great [Huelin, G, “Vanished Churches of the City of London”, London,Guildhall Library Publications, 1996ISBN 0900422424] , but by 1547 it was a discrete parish confident enough to remove its crucifix [”Vanished Churches of the City of London” Huelin,G London Guildhall Library Publishing 1996 ISBN 0900422424] and replace it with the Royal Arms. In 1627 much of the north wall had to be rebuilt [Huelin (ibid)] but following the fire it was united to St Olave Jewry (part of whose churchyard it shared) [Plan of the church and church yards of St. Olave Jewry and St. Martin, Ironmonger Lane. Scale 1":12 feet / taken and drawn in July 1809 by Jno. Baker, archt.. 445:OLA cited in “City of London Parish Registers Guide 4” Hallows,A.(Ed) - London, Guildhall Library Research, 1974 ISBN 0900422300] . Partial records still survive at IGI.
