GB 0074 P69/AND4 1348-1975 Collection 18.8 linear metres (874 production units). Parish of St Andrew Undershaft, City of London , Church of England

The church of Saint Andrew Undershaft is first mentioned in 1147, under the name Saint Anderw Cornhill. The name 'Undershaft' derived from a tall maypole which used to stand beside the church. The church was rebuilt in 1520-1532, and was repaired in 1627 and altered at various points subsequently, including 1830 and 1875. The building was not damaged during the Great Fire of London or the Second World War. Historian John Stow is buried here.

The parish of Saint Andrew Undershaft was united with Saint Mary Axe in 1561. There are no surviving archives of Saint Mary Axe, except for two items concerning the uniting of the parish with Saint Andrew Undershaft (Ms 4138 and 4148). In 1954 the parish was united with the parishes of Saint Katherine Cree and Saint James Duke's Place, which had united in 1873.
