Parish History
'St Mary Aldermanbury, the church of, is situated on the west side of the street so called, between Love Lane and Addle Street, Wood Street, Cheapside. It derives its name from its dedication to the Virgin Mary, and its addition from its situation. This church is of very ancient date, as appears from a sepulchral inscription, recorded to have been in the old church, bearing the date of 1116. The patronage was formerly in the Dean and Chapter of St Paul's, who in 1331, with the consent of Stephen, Bishop of London, appropriated it to the adjoining hospital of Elsing Spital. After the dissolution of the religious houses, the patronage was granted to the parishioners, who have ever since enjoyed the right of presentation.
'It is a curacy in the city, diocese and archdeaconry of London, and in the patronage of the parishioners.'[1]
The church building was bombed during World War II. 'It was re-erected in 1969 in the United States of America at Westminster College, Fulton, Missouri.'[2]
The parish was also known as St Mary the Virgin Aldermanbury Parish.
1848 parish description
