Geschiedenis
Saint Mary Somerset dated to the 12th century. The name probably derives from the wharf Somershithe which was nearby. The church was destroyed during the Great Fire of 1666, rebuilt to designs by Wren, but demolished in 1872. The tower was saved. The parish was united with Saint Mary Mounthaw after the Great Fire, and with Saint Nicholas Cole Abbey in 1872. The united parish was later joined with Saint Andrew by the Wardrobe.
