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.[2] By September 6th the city lay in ruins, 86 churches having been destroyed.[3] 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.[4] Fifty-one were chosen, but St Mary Bothaw on the south side of Cannon Street[5] in Dowgate Ward was one of the unlucky minority never to be rebuilt.[6] . Described by Stow as a “proper church"[7], its dedication derived from “berthage”, that is it was near a place where ships berthed [8] . It was one of the 13 peculiars within the City and as such came under the patronage of Canterbury Cathedral [9]. Although small it contained the tomb of Henry Fitz-Ailwin de Londonestone , first Lord Mayor of London[10]. Following the fire it was united to St Swithin, London Stone (part of whose materials it incorporated)[11]. Partial records still survive at IGI.[12].
