The old Church, of early foundation, had been damaged in the Great Fire, and was repeatedly altered and patched. It stood more forward in the street than the present building. When the church was taken down, about 1830, the projecting clock, with its figures which struck the hours and quarters, was bought by the then Marquess of Hertford, and moved to his villa in the Regent's Park (hence called St. Dunstan's), long occupied by the first Lord Aldenham, where it still remains. The statue of Queen Elizabeth at the east end of the church came from Ludgate, taken down in 1760, and is now over the entrance of the present church vestry. On the edge of the pavement is a porters' rest. Temple Bar in mid-distance.
