St John Zachary^[1] (meaning "St John, son of Zechariah", i.e. John the Baptist)^[2] was a church, first mentioned in official records in 1181,^[3] within the City of London, England, on the north side of Gresham Street, Aldersgate.^[4] Its vicar from 25 May 1424^[5] to an unknown date was William Byngham, the founder of England's first teacher training college.^[6] It was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666^[7] and not rebuilt,^[8] with its parish being united with that of St Anne and St Agnes^[9] by Act of Parliament in 1670^[10] –an arrangement that lasted until the 20th century.^[11] Its site is now a garden,^[12] first made by the fire watchers in 1941.^[13] Partial records survive at IGI.^[14]
