St Edmund, King and Martyr is a church building on Lombard Street, in the City of London. It was a Church of England church dedicated to St Edmund.In 1292 it is first recorded, as 'Saint Edmund towards Garcherche' [ [http://london.lovesguide.com/edmund_lombard.htm London Guide] ] , and it reappears in 1348 as 'Saint Edmund in Lombardestrete'. This medieval church was destroyed in the Great Fire, and Christopher Wren built the present building 1670-1679 ["The Old Churches of London" Cobb,G: London, Batsford, 1942] , with a tower designed like a lighthouse ornamented at the angles by flaming urns in allusion to the Great Fire [ "London:the City Churches” Pevsner,N/Bradley,S New Haven, Yale, 1998 ISBN 0300096550] . Restored in 1864 and 1880, it was later deconsecrated and from 2005 to the present it has been the London Centre for Spirituality and the associated bookshop.
