St Antholin, Budge Row or St Antholin, Watling Street was a former church in the City of London, which was demolished in 1874. Nowadays it has resurrected as: St Anthony and St Silas, Nunhead [ [http://london.lovesguide.com/antholin_budge.htm Explanation of merger] ] .

The original church was first recorded in 1119. It is known to have been rebuilt in the 1400s. In 1666, the church was destroyed in the Great Fire of London. It was rebuilt in 1678-1684 by Sir Christopher Wren [Cobb,G The Old Churches of London: London, Batsford,1942] .

In 1829, the upper part of the spire was replaced and the portion taken down, with dragon's head weathervane, was sold for £5 to Robert Harrild, a printer, who had it erected on his property, Round Hill House in Sydenham, London SE26. It remains there today, now surrounded by modern town houses [ http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/41353 This website includes a modern photograph of the old spire] .

The church was demolished in 1874 as part of the Union of Benefices Act [Of all the churches demolished in the nineteenth century, the loss of St Antholin's seems to have caused the greatest regret. "Gordon Huelin"p35 of "Vanished Churches of the City of London" London, Guildhall Library Publications, 1996 ISBN 0900422424] .
