History of the united parishes of Saint Margaret Pattens and Saint Gabriel Fenchurch:

The first recorded mention of Saint Margaret Pattens is in 1216. The church, which had been rebuilt in 1530 and repaired in 1614-32, was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666. The parish was united with the parish of Saint Gabriel Fenchurch in 1670 and the church was reconstructed by Wren in 1684-7.

Saint Gabriel Fenchurch was originally known as Saint Mary Fenchurch (in 1315), but its name had changed by the end of the 16th century. It was demolished in the Great Fire and not rebuilt. A plaque marks the site, on 35 Fenchurch Street.

The records have been deposited in Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section at various dates since 1922. The most recent deposit was in 1996. The Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section merged with the London Metropolitan Archives in 2009.

Records of the parish of Saint Gabriel Fenchurch including parish registers (baptisms, marriages, burials) from 1571 (and a fragment of a 13th century biblical manuscript found in the binding of the earliest parish register), vestry minutes from 1693 and churchwardens' accounts from 1765. Also poor and church rate assessment books from 1768.

As the archive is large and complex, and to assist the user, the catalogue has been arranged in sections each with a code as follows: A Parish registers; B Vestry and parish officers; C Rate assessments and inhabitants lists; D Charities and estates.

These records are available for public inspection, although records containing personal information may be subject to access restrictions.

Copyright to these records rests with the depositor.
