The Tower of St Alban's Church, Wood Street, London, EC2. St Alban's was a church in Wood Street, EC2, London, dedicated to Saint Alban. Only its tower now remains. The parish was united with St Vedast, Foster Lane in 1954, and this church then fully demolished in 1965, apart from the tower, which today remains as a private dwelling in a traffic island amongst the new high rise office buildings which completely surround it. Built on the alleged site of the palace chapel of King Offa in 793. Rebuilt in the Gothic style in 1633-4. Destroyed in 1666 and rebuilt by Wren 1682-7. Destroyed in 1940.
