The church stood at what is now the junction of Queen Street and Upper Thames Street, just north of Southwark Bridge.[2] It was rebuilt in 1306, the choir at the cost of Queen Margaret. The Vintners' Company had an altar in the church dedicated to St Martin, who was their patron saint.[3]
St Martin Vintry was one of 86 parish churches destroyed in the Great Fire of London. In 1670, a Rebuilding Act was passed and a committee set up under the stewardship of Sir Christopher Wren to decide which would be rebuilt.[4] Fifty-one were chosen, but St Martin Vintry was not among them.[5] Instead its parish was united with that of St Michael Paternoster Royal.
