This gatehouse is one of the few buildings from Tudor times which have not been destroyed by the Great Fire of London. It is the entrance to one of the oldest churches in the City of London, St Bartholomew-the-Great. The original facade was hidden behind (and probably therefore saved) a new one in the 18th century and was only rediscovered after a zepelin air raid in 1917.

Fully restored in 1932, the building is now Grade II listed and even retains some of the 13th century stonework from the original nave. On the first floor of the property there is bolection-moulded panelling from around 1700, whilst the attic boasts original panelling dating back to 1595.
