London, England, Extracted Parish Records about Francis Barnham Anne Muns. Text: 16 Apr 1604 Francis Barnham, of St Edmund's, Lombard Street, Draper, Widower, 48, & Anne Muns, of St Lawrence Pountney, 26, widow of Edmund Muns [Newcourt says "Edward Mannes"], Clerk, Vicar of Stepney, who died about a year ago; at St Lawrence Pountney. Book: Burials. Collection: London: - Marriage Licences, 1520-1610 (Marriage).
They were married at the church of Saint Lawrence Pountney, London. The church was destroyed in the Great Fire (1666) and not rebuilt.
Also: Corpus Christi Chapel, Saint Lawrence Pountney is a chapel in the College of Saint Lawrence Pountney. The earliest mention of it was in 1336: Master, Warden, and Chaplains of the Chapel of Corpus Christi and Saint John Baptist, lately built by John de Pulteneye by the church of Saint Lawrence in Candlewick Street. The Advowson belonged to Edmund de la Pole, Duke of Suffolk and on his attainder to the Crown. It was granted in 1506 to Ed. Duke of Buckingham, and on his attainder reverted to the Crown, 1521. It was later surrendered temporarily to Edward VI.
The chapel seems to have been actually in the mansion house of Sir John de Pulteney, and was known afterwards as the Collegiate Chapel of Corpus Christi, or the College of Saint Lawrence Pountney.
