St Mary-le-Bow Cheapside History
St Mary-le-Bow: A History
A limited-edition volume of historical essays on the church and parish of St Mary-le-Bow in the City of London is available now direct from the church.
Founded in or around 1080 as the London headquarters of the archbishops of Canterbury, the medieval church of St Mary-le-Bow survived three devastating collapses before being completely destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666. Rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren, it was destroyed once more in 1941 but was again rebuilt and re-consecrated in 1964.
