Biographical history
Saint Giles in the Fields originated in a leper hospital founded in 1101 by Queen Matilda. The chapel at the hospital came to serve locals as well as patients, and continued to serve this parochial role even after the closure of the hospital in 1539. A new church was constructed in 1623, however, this suffered structural damage from excessive burials in the churchyard, and in 1711 a new church was proposed under the Act for Fifty New Churches. The building was finished in 1733 and has changed little since then.
