"ST. MARY MAGDALEN, Old Fish-treet, the church of, is situated on the north side of Knightrider-street, at the west corner of the Old Change. Its name is derived from that of the saint to which it is dedicated, and its situation in the ancient fish market. This church was formerly a vicarage, in the tenure of the canons of St. Paul's, so early as 1181. . . The old church was destroyed at the time of the great fire of 1666, as well as its neighbour St. Gregory, which is at the south-west corner of St. Paul's Cathedral. . . The church was rebuilt in 1685, by Sir Christopher Wren. The patronage of this church is also in the minor canons of St Paul's. After its destruction by the great fire, the ground upon which it stood was laid into St. Paul's Church-yard, and the two parishes united by act of parliament. . . The present Rector is the Rev. Richard H. Barham, a minor canon of St. Paul's, who was instituted in 1826." [James Elmes. A Topographical Dictionary of London and its Environs (1831) - transcribed by Brian Randell]
