Henry was christened at Leofstans Church. (See picture of Leofstans Church) The original name of the Layston Church (London) was Leofstans Church (although the spelling varied widely) and it was built or rebuilt by the grandfather of the first Lord Mayor of London sometime before 1115. The present building dates from the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries. The roof of the nave has now been removed and the chancel made into a cemetery chapel.
