CONTEXT
Administrative/Biographical history:
St Audoen alias St Ewin was a small church which stood at the north-west corner of Warwick Lane, Ludgate, and its existence is first recorded in about 1220. The church was demolished in about 1583, and the parish became part of Christ Church Greyfriars. The endowments of St Audoen were transferred to St Bartholomew's Hospital by a charter of Henry VIII. The parish of St Audoen was abolished in 1547 when the new parish of Christchurch Newgate Street was formed.
