"ST. ANTHONY'S or St. Antholins CHURCH, Budge-row, is at the south-west corner of Size-lane, Bucklersbury and Budge-row, Queen-street, Cheapside, which runs in a direct line from Watling-street to Cannon-street. It was erected by Sir Christopher Wren, in 1682; and although it has no great pretensions to taste it is a scientific, well-constructed church. . . This church receives its name from St Anthony, an Egyptian hermit, and founder of the order of Eremites of St Anthony. The time of its foundation is not known; but that it is of great antiquity appears from its being in the gift the canons of St. Paul, in 1181. It was rebuilt, in 1399, by Thomas Knolles, Mayor of London; again, in 1513, by John Tate, mercer. In 1616 it was repaired and beautified at the expense of one thousand pounds, raised by the contributions of several munificent parishioners; but being destroyed by the fire of London, in 1666, it was rebuilt in 1682, as before mentioned. To this parish is annexed that of St John the Baptist, whose church, before the of London, stood close by Walbrook. . . The present rector is the Rev. John Gordon, who was instituted by the dean and chapter in 1827." [James Elmes. A Topographical Dictionary of London and its Environs (1831) - transcribed by Brian Randell]
