Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

Holy Trinity the Less was situated on Knightrider Street. It is first mentioned in 1258. The church was rebuilt in 1607-08 at the expense of the Merchant Taylor's and Vintner's Companies. It was destroyed during the Great Fire of London in 1666 and the site was purchased by merchants, who built a German church. The parish was united with Saint Michael Queenhithe in 1670 (P69/MIC6). After the demolition of Saint Michael Queenhithe in 1875 the parish was united with Saint James Garlickhythe (P69/JS2).
