"S\t. MARTIN POMARY, the church of, was formerly situated in Ironmonger-lane, Cheapside, and is supposed, by Stowe, to have received its addition from Pomary, an apple garden, but I am more indined to think from the family of the Pomeroys who might have had some connection with its patronage. The ancient church having been destroyed by the fire of London, the parish was united to that of St. Olive Jewry, by act of parliament." [James Elmes. A Topographical Dictionary of London and its Environs (1831) - transcribed by Brian Randell]
