Unfortunately, all that is left of St Martin's Orgar is the bell tower and its bell, now attached to the church of St Clement's, Eastcheap. The church was damaged during the Great Fire but was repaired. All but the tower was however demolished in the early 19th century. The line in the poem refers to the moneylenders that used to work nearby.
If you look up King William Street above the roofs, you will see the Monument to commemorate the Great Fire of 1666 situated very close to Pudding Lane where the fire started.
