Detail InformationEdit
Ashlar-faced outside and Gothic throughout, St Mary Aldermary is an Anglican church in Bow Lane in the City of London. The church was badly damaged in the Great Fire of London in 1666, and rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren.There has been a church on this site for over 900 years and its name is usually taken to mean that it is the oldest of the City churches dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The early benefactors of the Church were believed to be the Benedictine Monks of Christ Church Canterbury, so it is likely that the Church was founded and sponsored by Benedictine Monastics. However, little evidence for this survives and what evidence there might have been was probably destroyed in the Great Fire.
From the 16th century, Stow mentioned various dignitaries buried in the early church, in his 1598 Survey of London. These include Richard Chaucer, vintner, a relative of the poet Geoffrey Chaucer.In 1510, Sir Henry Keeble financed the building of a new church. The tower was unfinished when he died in 1518. In 1629, two legacies enabled it to be completed. The church was said to have been among the largest and finest of the City’s churches. The parish registers date from 1558. They are now deposited in the Guildhall Library. John Milton married his third wife, Elizabeth Minshull in this church in 1663.
