The church of Saint Sepulchre, Holborn Viaduct, was first mentioned in 1137. It was damaged in the Great Fire of 1666 and was rebuilt in 1670-71. However the tower and outer wall survived and date from around 1450. The church is now the National Musicians' Church. The church is also known as Saint Sepulchre without Newgate as it stood just outside the Newgate walls. The parish was partly within the City of London and partly within the former county of Middlesex.

The archives of the parish of St Sepulchre Holborn have been deposited in the Manuscripts Section of the Guildhall Library at various dates since 1922. The most recent deposit was in 2007. The Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section merged with the London Metropolitan Archives in 2009.
