GB 0074 P69/MRY14 1558-1947 Collection 1.42 linear metres Parish of St Mary, Woolchurch Haw, City of London , Church of England

The 11th century church of Saint Mary Woolchurch Haw stood on the site now occupied by Mansion House. Antiquarian John Stow noted that wool was weighed in the churchyard. The church escaped serious damage during the Great Fire of London, 1666, but it was demolished for building materials and the parish united to Saint Mary Woolnoth.

The records of these parishes have been deposited with the Manuscripts Section of Guildhall Library at various dates since 1901. The most recent deposit was in 2001. The Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section merged with the London Metropolitan Archives in 2009.

The main archive of St Mary Woolchurch Haw dates from the 16th century with parish registers (baptisms, marriages, burials, banns) from 1558; vestry minutes from 1647; Churchwardens' accounts; Overseers' payments; papers relating to poor relief; and church rate, tithe rate and poor rate assessments from 1671.

The catalogue has been arranged in sections, each with a classification code as follows: A Parish registers; B Vestry and parish officers; C Rate assessments and inhabitants lists; D Charities and estates.

Available for general access.
