St Michael Cornhill
City of London, Greater London
The church lies over the remains of the Basilica, the northern most part of the great Roman Forum built in the first century AD.
The church is mainly 14th century, built by Sir William de Etchingham, Lord of the Manor. The church was orignally contained within the Manor's grounds and moat, but the railway station now stands in the place of the long since disappeared Manor building.
Following a devastating flood in 2000, the church has been restored and fortunately made a full recovery. It has what is probably the oldest brass weathervane in England, still in its original position on top of the tower.
