CONTEXT

Administrative/Biographical history:

History of the united parishes of Saint Mary at Hill, Saint Andrew Hubbard, Saint George Botolph Lane and Saint Botolph Billingsgate:

The churches of Saint Botolph and Saint Andrew Hubbard were destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666. The parish of Saint Mary at Hill was united to the parish of Saint Andrew Hubbard in 1670. The parish of Saint George Botolph Lane was united to the parish of Saint Botolph Billingsgate in 1670. The united parishes of Saint George and Saint Botolph were joined with the united parishes of Saint Mary and Saint Andrew in 1901; and the church of Saint George was demolished in 1903-4.

The church of Saint Andrew Hubbard is first mentioned in records in 1202. The name Hubbard probably derives from a benefactor. The church was repaired in 1630 only to be destroyed by the Great Fire of London in 1666. It was not rebuilt; and in 1670 the parish was united with Saint Mary at Hill (P69/MRY4). A plaque at 16 Eastcheap marks the site of the church.
