A One-Name Study for the BARNUM/BARNHAM Surname
They were married at Saint Benet Paul's Wharf, London. The Church of Saint Benet Paul's Wharf (also known as Saint Benet Welsh Church) is the Welsh church of the City of London. Since 1555, it has also been the church of the College of Arms, and many officers of arms are buried there.
The current church was designed by Sir Christopher Wren. A Church has stood on this site since the year 1111, dedicated to Saint Benet (an abbreviation of Saint Benedict). Paul's Wharf was recently excavated to reveal its Roman foundations and was close by on the riverside. A little to the west stood the watergate of Baynard's Castle, frequently mentioned in church records, and part of the sad story of both Queen Anne Boleyn and Lady Jane Grey. Both church and castle were destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666. The present church by Sir Christopher Wren was built by his master mason Thomas Strong between 1677 and 1683.
