City of London, GB

Nederlandse Kerk

The Dutch Church is a reformed church in the Broad Street Ward, in the City of London. Located on the site of the 13th century Augustinian friary, the original building granted to Protestant refugees for their church services in 1550 was destroyed during the London Blitz. The present church was built between 1950 and 1954. With the founding of the church dating to 1550, it is the oldest Dutch language Protestant church in the world.

St Michael Cornhill

The church lies over the remains of the Basilica, the northern most part of the great Roman Forum built in the first century AD. It stands near to the site of a church founded by King Lucius in AD179, the oldest site of Christian worship in London. The name ‘Cornhill' is first mentioned in the 12th century, the ‘hill' indicating the rising ground, and ‘corn' derived from the corn market which was once held there.
