Parish History[edit | edit source]

Stmarywoolchurchhawsite.JPG

"St Mary Woolnoth with St Mary Woolchurch Haw, the church of, stands at the northeast corner of Sherbourne Lane, Lombard Street. Its addition of Woolnoth is derived from being neath (since, by corruption, noth) or nigh to the Woolstaple. The ancient church was of some antiquity, as John de Norton is mentioned as being rector in 1335. From various circumstances, such as the discovery of tusks and bones of animals, remains of tessellated pavements, metal vessels, part of an aqueduct, and other Roman exuviae, it has been surmised, that an ancient temple, probably that of Concord, stood upon its site. It was damaged at the time of the great fire of 1666, and was sufficiently repaired to last until the act passed in Queen Anne's reign to build fifty new churches, when the old church was taken down, and the present handsome substantial edifice built in its stead. The united parishes are a rectory in the city, diocese and archdeaconry of London and in the patronage of the King, and J. Thornton, alternately."[1]

After the Great Fire of London (1666), St Mary Woolnoth Parish united with St Mary Woolchurch Parish.[2]
