Biographical history
The church of Saint Faith under Saint Paul was originally above ground, but was removed c.1255 for the extension of Saint Paul's Cathedral, and granted a space in the crypt. In 1551 it was moved to a larger and lighter area of the crypt. After the Great Fire, no new church or chapel was built, and the parish of Saint Faith under Saint Paul was united to the parish of Saint Augustine Watling Street in 1670. They were, in turn, united to the parish of Saint Mary le Bow in 1954.
