Note to 119: St Lawrence Jewry was designed in the second half of 1670. The parish ordered the churchwardens 'to attend the Surveighors for rebuilding of demoll: churches […] to get the moddell for this Church and to have the worke of rebuilding of this Church begun with all convenient speed' on 20 July 1670 (GL, MS 2590/2, fol. 13). Edward Pearce had contracted to execute the masonry by 19 January 1671 (GL, MS 25542/1, fols. 201–03; GL, MS 25544/1, fol. 27). This unfinished drawing was made by Woodroofe, who also drew the (lost) plan formerly in the Bute collection (Summerson 1970, fig. 16b). The churchwardens' accounts record that 3s. was 'spent on Mr Woodroffe' in 1671–72 (GL, MS 2593/2, fol. 471). The pilaster articulation of the interior was altered in execution, most notably at the E end of the aisle.
