History of the united parish:

The parish of Saint Gregory by Saint Paul was first mentioned in 1010. The church stood at the south west corner of Saint Paul's Cathedral. Whilst building the new cathedral portico, Inigo Jones partially demolished the church, but was compelled to restore it. It was destroyed by the Great Fire of London, 1666, and not rebuilt.

The parish was united with Saint Mary Magdalen Old Fish Street in 1670. The 12th century church of Saint Mary Magdalen Old Fish Street was destroyed by the Great Fire. Wren rebuilt the church but this was again damaged by fire in 1886 and consequently demolished. The parish was united with Saint Martin Ludgate in 1890.

Lying on the north side of Ludgate Hill, the church of Saint Martin Ludgate was destroyed in the Great Fire. It was rebuilt by Wren, 1677-84, and is now a guild church. The church is dedicated to Saint Martin of Tours.
