"TRINITY THE LESS, the church of, was situated, before the fire of London, at the north-east corner of Little Trinity-lane, where a German chapel now stands. It received the epithet "the Less," to distinguish it from the Trinity priory at Aldgate; but having been destroyed by the great fire of 1666, the parish was united to that of St. Michael, Queenhithe, and the church was not rebuilt." [James Elmes. A Topographical Dictionary of London and its Environs (1831) - transcribed by Brian Randell]

The Evangelical Lutheran Church of England (1969) 28 pp. ["At the centre of the new London that emerged from the ashes, a few yards from Old St. Pauls, still in charred ruins, arose the first Lutheran church in Britain. It was begun in November 1672, dedicated thirteen months later. It was named Trinity Lutheran Church because it was built on the site of Holy Trinity the Less, an anglican Parish Church destroyed in the fire."]
