"St. MARTIN OUTWICH, the church of, is situated at the south-east corner of Threadneedle-street, in Bishopsgate-street. It obtained its name from being dedicated to the before-mentioned St. Martin, and its addition from William and John de Oteswick, who were anciently its proprietors and patrons. . . The old church, which was built in 1540, was one of the few that escaped the ravages of the fire of London, but it became afterwards so dilapidated by age, and the large fire that consumed much of the adjacent property in 1765, that it was taken down in 1795, and the first stone of the present edifice was laid on the 4th of May 1796. It is a neat small church, elected from the designs of the late Mr. Cockerell, and has a fresco painting of the Ascension, by Rigaud, over the altar. The church is a rectory, in the city, diocese and archdeaconry of London, and in the patronage of the Merchant Taylors' Company. The present rector is the Rev. John Joseph Ellis, second master of the Merchant Taylors' School, who was instituted in 1821." [James Elmes. A Topographical Dictionary of London and its Environs (1831) - transcribed by Brian Randell]
