Wikipedia quote for those curious about the origins of the name:
“In 1361, Edward III moved his Royal Wardrobe (a storehouse for Royal accoutrements, housing arms and clothing among other personal items of the Crown) from the Tower of London to just north of the church. It was from this association that the church acquired its unique name.
The Wardrobe and the church, however, were both lost in the Great Fire of London in 1666.”
There’s a charge near me called Our lady of the Taper
I suppose by the closet was too graphic.
Still waiting for the Catholic church to come out of the closet
…I gots told, the Lion and The Witch prays there
That’s me in the corner
that’s me by the wardrobe
So he came out of the closet and just stood next to the wardrobe.
Makes sense.
Because ‘closet’ was a bit too obvious
What’s weird about it?
First time I read Prince Andrew by the wardrobe and had a heart attack.

St Patrick in the Laundry Basket is in the next parish
I wonder if its next to St Lucy of the Lion and St Peter and the Witch
I would have thought a closet would have been better for hiding in.
Opened in April 800ce, incorrectly named since June 800ce when they moved the wardrobe
My friend’s parish!
A lot of saints were in the closet, but times have changed
It’s where they kept the ward’s fancy robe 👘
Patron saint of Ikea.
And only twenty minutes walk from [Saint Andrew Undershaft](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Andrew_Undershaft) (The wikipedia page for that has a picture of an impressive organ)
Stand Rew by the Wardrobe? What’s he done?
It is next to the site of the King’s Wardrobe where the clothes and other goods of historic kings were kept, mended and prepared for use.
