Antiquities found near the Post Office, 1844. Masonry '...discovered while making a sewer near the General Post-Office [in London], on the former site of the church of St. John Zackarie, which was destroyed by the Great Fire. From the style of the remains, they seem to have been portions of the canopy of a Gothic tomb, most likely that of Sir Nicholas Twiford, goldsmith, who was Mayor of London in 1388...The church of St. John Zackarie was situated at the corner of Maiden-lane, and was built during the reign of Edward II., and refounded by Nicholas Twiford, 1390'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V.
