History of the united parishes of Saint Mary at Hill, Saint Andrew Hubbard, Saint George Botolph Lane and Saint Botolph Billingsgate:

Saint George Botolph Lane is first mentioned in 1180. It was repaired in 1360 and 1627, but was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666. It was rebuilt by Wren using rubble from Saint Paul's Cathedral; but was declared unsafe in 1903 and demolished.

The churches of Saint Botolph and Saint Andrew Hubbard were also destroyed in the Great Fire. The parish of Saint Mary at Hill was united to the parish of Saint Andrew Hubbard in 1670. The parish of Saint George Botolph Lane was united to the parish of Saint Botolph Billingsgate in 1670. The united parishes of Saint George and Saint Botolph were joined with the united parishes of Saint Mary and Saint Andrew in 1901.
