History of the united parishes of Saint Lawrence Jewry, Saint Mary Magdalen Milk Street and Saint Michael Bassishaw:

The parish of Saint Mary Magdalen Milk Street was united to the parish of Saint Lawrence Jewry in 1670 after it had been destroyed in the Great Fire.

In 1897 the foundations of Saint Michael Bassishaw were severely damaged when the crypt was cleared of human remains; the church was demolished and the parish united to the parish of Saint Lawrence Jewry the same year.

Saint Lawrence Jewry now functions as a guild church for the Corporation of London.

The records of the three churches have been deposited in Guildhall Library at various dates since the 1920s. The most recent deposit was in 1989. The Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section merged with the London Metropolitan Archives in 2009.

The records of Saint Michael Bassishaw include parish registers (baptisms, marriages, burials, banns) from 1538, vestry minutes from 1669 and churchwardens' accounts from 1617. Also papers relating to parish poor relief; poor rate assessments, and deeds and other documents relating to parish property.

To assist the user, the catalogue has been arranged in sections representing subgroups each with an initial letter 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.
