The church is today the largest parish church in the city. It was completely rebuilt in the 15th century but was gutted by the Great Fire of London in 1666, which left the outer walls, the tower and the porch standing. Lightly modified in the 18th century, the interior of the church is a wide, roomy space with a coffered ceiling installed in 1834; with plasterwork of three years later. The church had considerable re-facing and alterations in 1878. In World War II the 18th-century watch-house in its churchyard (to deter grave-robbers) was bomb-struck – yet was rebuilt. The vicar's residence was in the early 2000s fully renovated.
