A former church in the City of London.
The Mortality Bill for the year 1665, published by the Parish Clerk’s Company, shows 97 parishes within the City of London.[1] By September 6th the city lay in ruins, 86 churches having been destroyed.[2] In 1670 a Rebuilding Act was passed and a committee set up under the stewardship of Sir Christopher Wren to decide which would be rebuilt.[3] Fifty-one were chosen, but St Mary Magdalen, Milk Street in Cripplegate Ward[4] was one of the unlucky minority never to be rebuilt.[5] Stow described it as a “small parish church” [6] but as Hughes notes[7] its church records contain the names of many important City dignitaries. A royalist stronghold in the years leading up to the Civil War [8] its Incumbent was “deprived” during the Commonwealth[9] Following the fire it was united to St Lawrence Jewry.[10] Partial records still survive at IGI.[11].
