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 Michael-le-Querne immediately to the north east of Paternoster Row [5] in Farringdon Within Ward was one of the unlucky minority never to be rebuilt.[6] Its dedication derives from an 11th century reference to it being near a place “where corn is sold" [7] . Beautified in 1617[8], the parish officers were re-appointed for the last time in July 1666. Following the fire it was united to St Vedast Foster Lane and partial records still survive at IGI.[9].
