History of the united parish:

The churches of Holy Trinity the Less and Saint James Garlickhithe were both destroyed by the Great Fire of London, 1666. The church of Holy Trinity the Less was not rebuilt. The church of Saint James Garlickhithe was rebuilt by Wren 1676-1683 and a steeple was added 1714-1717. During the Second World War the church was damaged and restoration took place in 1954-1963. The church of Saint Michael Queenhithe was also burned in the Great Fire and rebuilt by Wren 1676-1677, being finally demolished in 1876. The parishes of Holy Trinity the Less and Saint Michael Queenhithe were united to Saint James Garlickhithe in 1875.

The archives of the united parishes have been deposited in the Manuscripts Section of Guildhall Library at various dates since 1904. The most recent deposit in each case was in 1993. Records of St James' Guild were deposited in the Manuscripts Section of Guildhall Library by the parish of St James Garlickhithe in 1961, and were catalogued in the same year by a member of Guildhall Library staff. The Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section merged with the London Metropolitan Archives in 2009.
