City of London . The first reference to it is to "Ecclesia de Staningehage" in 1189, probably deriving from a family fromStaines holding land in the area of the church [Gordon Huelin in his seminal "Vanished Churches of the City of London" (London, Guildhall Library Publishing,1996 ISBN 0900422424) gives two further possibilities 1 Named after the painter stainers who lived in the area inmedieval times or 2 From the Saxon word for stone.] . It was destroyed in theGreat Fire of London in 1666 and not rebuilt ["The Old Churches of London" Cobb,G: London, Batsford, 1942] . Its parish was united toSt Michael Wood Street in 1670, and later to St Alban Wood Street in 1894 and finallySt Vedast Foster Lane in 1954. Pevsner found a “few battered tombstones” in nearby "Oat Lane" [ "London:the City Churches” Pevsner,N/Bradley,S New Haven, Yale, 1998 ISBN 0300096550] .Since 1965 its site has been aCity of London Corporation garden, containing a historic tree (a neighbouring banking building was built semi-circular so as not to damage it).Notes
