A former church in the City of London.
The Mortality Bill for the year 1665, published by the "Parish Clerk’s Company", shows 97 parishes within the City of London.

[ The "Churches of the City of London" Reynolds,H: London, Bodley Head, 1922] 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. [ "Wren" Whinney,M London Thames & Hudson, 1971 ISBN 0500201129] Fifty-one were chosen, but St Mary Magdalen, Milk Street in Cripplegate Ward [Parts of the parish were also in Bread Street Wards-"A Dictionary of London" Harben,H: London, Herbert Jenkins, 1918] was one of the unlucky minority never to be rebuilt. [ "The City of London Churches" Betjeman, J. Andover, Pitkin, 1967 (rpnt 1992) ISBN 0853725659 ] Stow described it as a “small parish church” [A Survey of London, Vol I Stow,J p446 : Originally 1598- this edn,London, A.Fullarton & Co,1890 ] but as Hughes notes [”The register of St. Lawrence Jewry and St. Mary Magdalen, Milk Street, London : 1677-1812” Hughes, A.W (Ed): London, Harleian Society, 1941] its church records contain the names of many important City dignitaries. A royalist stronghold in the years leading up to the Civil War [“Vanished churches of the City of London” Huelin, G.: London, Guildhall Library Publishing 1996ISBN 0900422424 ] its Incumbent was “deprived” during the Commonwealth [. “The City of London-a history” Borer,M.I.C. : New York,D.McKay Co, 1978 ISBN 0094618801] Following the fire it was united to St Lawrence Jewry. [ Notes on Old City Churches” Pearce,C.W.: London, Winthrop Rogers Ltd, 1909 ] Partial records still survive at IGI. [ [http://www.gendocs.demon.co.uk/city-ch.html Genealogical Web-Site] ] .
