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.
