St. Mary Abchurch is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary and is located off Canon Street in the City of London. Dating back to the twelfth century it is first mentioned in 1198. The medieval church was destroyed by the Great London Fire in 1666 and was rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren or under his guidance 1681-1686. The parish was united with that of the nearby St. Laurence Pontney which was also destroyed but not rebuilt. During the London Blitz the church dome experienced damage and was repaired by W. Godfrey Allen. On January 4 1950 the church was designated a Grade I listed building.
