St Ann Blackfriars was a church in the City of London, in what is now Ireland Yard in the ward of Farringdon Within. It was established in the 16th century to serve the inhabitants of the precincts of a former Dominican monastery, following its dissolution under Henry VIII. It was near the Blackfriars Theatre, a fact which displeased its congregation. It was destroyed in the Great Fire of London of 1666.

“Does any one suppose that private prayer is necessarily candid—necessarily goes to the roots of action! Private prayer is inaudible speech, and speech is representative: who can represent himself just as he is, even in his own reflections?”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
