St Clement Eastcheap - Definition and Overview

St Clement Eastcheap is a church on Clement's Lane, near Eastcheap in the City of London. There has been a church on the site since the 11th century, if not before. It was one of the many churches destroyed by the Great Fire of London and rebuilt by Christopher Wren.

The church claims to be the one featured in the nursery rhyme Oranges and Lemons. However, St Clement Danes, in the City of Westminster, also claims this honour.
