Saint Ethelburga's was probably first built in the early 13th century, and dedicated to a 7th century Abbess of Barking. It was also known as Saint Ethelburga the Virgin within Bishopsgate. It was one the of few churches to survive the Great Fire of London in 1666. It was rebuilt in the 15th century, and suffered many subsequent restorations. From the 16th century until 1933 it was flanked by shops directly either side of its porch.

Saint Ethelburga became a guild church in 1954. Following its destruction by a terrorist bomb in Bishopsgate in 1993, the City Commission Report to the Bishop of London (Templeman Report) recommended that it should not be rebuilt as a church.
