The church apparently gained this association from its proximity to a wharf where Oranges and Lemons were unloaded on their way to Leadenhall Market, and from the fact that Lemons rhymes with Clements.
Like seemingly every church in the city, it was rebuilt according to plans laid out by Sir Christopher Wren following the Great Fire of London, and was completed in 1687, though there has been a church on the site for around 1000 years.
