GB 0074 P83/MRY1 1557-1969 Collection 31.19 linear metres Parish of Saint Mary, Islington , Church of England

Saint Mary's is the ancient parish church of Islington. This church served the whole parish until 1814 when a chapel of ease was constructed, followed over time by 40 more churches to serve a rapidly expanding population. It is first mentioned in documents in 1163. A church has existed on the site on Upper Street since at least the 12th century, although the present church dates to 1954 after the building of 1754 was bombed during the Second World War. The churchyard was closed for burials in 1853 and laid out as a public garden.
