Full Description
Also known as St Mary in Combusto (part of the city burnt by the great fire in the Conqueror's time). In combusto or Unbrent, Unbrent may mean un burnt but ancient evidences call it Le Brent, Arsa or Burnt, ie the church was burnt.
The error may come by called it 'In' the area of Combusto = Incombusto unburnt rather than in the area of burning (S1).
Demolished at dissolution before 1558.
United to St Saviours. Golden Dog Lane runs through the churchyard.
In the Bodleian Library - deeds dated 1274 (Rye Index p.247).
