The church of Saint Mary Abchurch was founded in the 12th century and belonged to the Prior of Saint Mary Overie (now Southwark Cathedral). The medieval church was destroyed during the Great Fire of 1666 and the church was rebuilt by Christopher Wren between 1681 and 1696. It was badly damaged by bombing in 1940 and was carefully restored. It is now one of the City of London's Guild Churches.

The church of Saint Lawrence Pountney had been destroyed in the Great Fire of London and was not rebuilt and in circa 1670 the two parishes were united.
