Edward Herbert, 1st Baron Herbert of Cherbury had a house with gardens adjacent to the street. The Church of St Augustine was on the corner of Old Change. It was rebuilt in the late 17th century by Christopher Wren following the Great Fire of London.During the early 18th century, Old Change was inhabited by Armenian merchants who set up numerous silk and woollen warehouses.Old Change was destroyed during World War II. A replacement street, New Change was built slightly to the east of this following the war. The church tower was restored and is now Grade I listed.
