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 Mounthaw to the west of Old Fish Street Hill in Queenhithe Ward[4] was one of the unlucky minority never to be rebuilt.[5] Built as a private family chapel [6]the parish had strong connections with the Diocese of Hereford whose Bishop used it as a London base [7]-one of whom John Skypp, personal chaplain to (and champion of [8]) Anne Boleyn was buried in the churchyard.[9] Following the fire it was united to St Mary Somerset and partial records still survive at IGI.[10].
