St. Catharine Cree Church, at the cor-
ner of Creechurch lane in Leadenhall
street. The addition of the word Cree, arose
from the English spelling of the word
Christ as pronounced by the French;
for this church being placed on the
ground of a dissolved priory, which with
its church was called our Saviour
Christ's church, tho' it was dedicated to
the virgin martyr St. Catharine, the ori-
ginal name of that priory became added
to its denomination. The present edifice
was erected in the year 1630, and is a very
singular structure, built with stone, and of
a mixed Gothic style. It has rounded bat-
tlements on the top, and a square tower
that has the same kind of battlements:
this tower is crowned with a square tur-
ret, over which is a dome, and from its
summit rises the weather cock.
This is a curacy, and the parishi-
oners have the privilege of chusing their
own minister, who must be licensed by
the Bishop of London. The Curate re-
ceives 70l. a year, exclusive of other
advantages. Maitland.
St. Catharine Coleman, on the south
side of Fenchurch street, is thus denomi-
nated from its been dedicated to the same
saint as the two former churches, and the
epithet of Coleman is added from there
