This is a beautiful Wren church, located just north of St. Paul’s on Foster Lane. St. Vedast is thought to have been established circa 1170, although the first official record is from the 13th century. It was rebuilt in the 16th and early 17th centuries, but then destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666. Only the base of the tower and the lower walls survived. The church was temporarily repaired by the parish, and then was rebuilt by Wren between 1695 and 1712. The church was essentiallly destroyed in the Blitz, with only the tower, steeple, and walls surviving. Restoration was completed in 1962.
I was especially impressed by the interior of St. Vedast. It has dark wood, and an elaborate and colorful plaster ceiling. The interior also contains gorgeous furnishings from lost City churches, particularly the stunning pulpit (from All Hallows Bread Street) and organ case (from St. Bartholomew by the Exchange). All of the woodwork is beautiful. St. Vedast is a calm place just steps from the bustle of the City.
