St Mary Le Bow Church

St Mary-le-Bow Church

Founded in or around 1080 the first church was a Norman structure which became the London headquarters for the Archbishop of Canterbury as a 'London Perculiar'. Re-designed several times, St Mary-le-Bow survived three devastating collapses before being completely destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666.

The current church took shape when it was re-built by Sir Christopher Wren between 1670 and 1683. After its destruction in World War II, St Mary’s was re-built largely following Wren's original specification in a re-design by Laurence King. The church was re-consecrated in 1964.
