Histórico
Saint Andrew Holborn is an ancient foundation. It is probably the church of Saint Andrew mentioned in a 951 charter of King Edgar. The church was not destroyed by the Great Fire, but was rebuilt by Wren in 1684. It was the largest of his parish churches. In 1827 Doctor William Marsden found a young girl dying of exposure in the churchyard. The incident spurred him to create the Royal Free Hospital where the poor could seek treatment. Part of the churchyard was lost when the Holborn Viaduct was constructed in 1863-1869. The church building was restored in 1872 by S.S. Teulon. The church was bombed in the Second World War, but was rebuilt following its original form in 1960-1961. The parish has been united with Saint Bride's, Fleet Street.
