St Andrew Hubbard was one of the churches destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666.
The Bills of Mortality for the year 1665, published by the Parish Clerk’s Company, shows 97 parishes within the City of London[1]. By 6 September 1666 the city lay in ruins[2], 87 churches having been destroyed[3]. In 1670 a Rebuilding Act was passed and a committee set up under the stewardship of Sir Christopher Wren to decide which would be rebuilt[4]. Fifty-one were chosen, but St Andrew Hubbard was one of the unlucky minority never to be rebuilt[5]. The church was situated in Philpot Lane[6] in the area known as Little Eastcheap [7] and took its name from Hubert, a mediaeval benefactor [8]. Its parish records are among the most detailed in the UK[9] and have been extensively researched[10], for example they tell us it was a thriving but rat-prone living. After the fire the church was united with St Mary-at-Hill and the site used to build the Royal Weigh House[11]. Substantial records survive at IGI[12]. A Parish boundary mark can be found in nearby Philpot Lane[13].
