In 1837[citation needed] it was laid out as a public garden, which remains today, with a preserved section of the London Wall on its north edge.

After the realignment of the road London Wall, that section formerly running past the site of this church was renamed St Alphege Gardens.

[8] The last building on the site, using the London Wall as its southern boundary, was destroyed by bombing in the Second World War.

When a new Salters' Hall—which was opened in 1976—was built on the site,[10] the area north of the London Wall was made into a garden for the Hall.

The rest of the Spital site was sold to Sir John Williams, who built a private house in its grounds, which was destroyed by fire in 1541.

[2] The rebuilt church had two fronts; an eastern one in Aldermanbury, and one to the north facing London Wall.

The east front had a Venetian window between two pilasters, elevated on a basement; this arrangement was flanked by two doorways.

The interior of the body of the church was described by Godwin as “merely a plain room with a flat ceiling, crossed from north to south by one large band at the east end”.

[15] By 1900, the tower and porch were again in a poor state,[17] and the north entrance was rebuilt with a neo-Gothic façade in 1913.

The City of London Corporation began to redevelop the badly bombed area in 1958, as part of the new Barbican complex.

The surviving remnants of these consist of the ruin of a central tower, built of flint and rubble masonry, with arches on three sides; the south wall is missing.
