History
The first recorded mention of Saint Magnus the Martyr is in 1067. The present church was rebuilt in 1671-76. It is situated on Lower Thames Street. The parish of Saint Margaret New Fish Street was united with Saint Magnus the Martyr following the destruction of the church in the Great Fire of 1666.
The church of Saint Michael Crooked Lane was rebuilt after the Great Fire, between 1684-89, but was eventually demolished in 1831, to make way for King William Street, and the parish was also united with Saint Magnus the Martyr.
