"ST. MARGARET, Lothbury, the church of, is situated on the north side of Lothbury, opposite the south front of the Bank of England. It derives its name from being dedicated to St. Margaret, a virgin saint of Antioch . . . The ancient church, which was built in 1440, being destroyed by the great fire of 1666, the present stone edifice was erected by Sir Christopher Wren, and finished in 1690. It stands upon the ancient course of Wall-brook, and is a plain substantial building. . . At the time when the church of St. Christopher-le-Stocks was pulled down to make way for the west end of the Bank of England, by Princes-street, that parish was united to it by act of parliament. The advowson is a rectory in the city, diocese and archdeaconry of London, and in the patronage of the bishop of that see. The present rector is the Rev. J. B. Hollingworth, B.D., Archdeacon of Hunts, and perpetual Curate of St. Botolph, Aldgate, who was instituted in 1814." [James Elmes. A Topographical Dictionary of London and its Environs (1831) - transcribed by Brian Randell]
