The St Alphage Society was formed in 1738 under the direction of the Reverend J. Broughton, secretary of the Society for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge. A weekly evening lecture was supported from Society funds and in 1751 a school was opened to clothe and educate five (later increased to thirty) poor children. For many years the school was associated with the City of London First National Schools in White Street, Finsbury, but on the closure of these premises in 1879 an agreement was made for the education of 20 poor boys and 20 poor girls at the Aldersgate Ward School, then at 160 Aldersgate Street. The Society originally met in the vestry of St Alphage London Wall and subsequently at various locations across the City including (successively) Newgate Street, Cannon Street, Aldersgate Street and Little Britain. The Society disappears from trade directories in 1960.

The records of the St Alphage Society were deposited at Guildhall Library by Norman & Son (B. Norman was treasurer to the Society) and the parish of St Botolph Aldersgate in 1952 and later, and catalogued at various dates by members of Guildhall Library staff. The whereabouts of any further records is unknown. The Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section merged with the London Metropolitan Archives in 2009.
