The Mortality Bill for the year 1665, published by the "Parish Clerk’s Company", shows 97 parishes within the City of London. [ "The ancient office of Parish Clerk and the Parish Clerks Company of London" Clark, O :London, Journal of the Ecclesiastical Law Society Vol 8, January 2006 ISSN: 0956-618X ] By September 6th the city lay in ruins, 86 churches having been destroyed. [ 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 Nicholas Olave on the west side of Bread Street Hill [ [http://www.senatorhouse.com/ The Site is now occupied by Senator House] ] in Queenhithe Ward ["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 ] Its unusual dedication refers to the earlier amalgamation between two parishes: St Nicholas and St Olave Bradestrat (which was removed by the Austin Friars for the erection of their monastic buildings) [”Vanished Churches of the City of London” Huelin,G London Guildhall Library Publishing 1996 ISBN 0900422424] . Described by John Stow as a “convenient church” ["A Survey of London, Vol I" Stow,J: Originally 1598- this edn,London, A.Fullarton & Co,1890] the parish had strong connections with the Fishmongers, many of whom were buried within the churchyard [ "Bread Street Hill & St. Nicholas Olave Churchyard" Dibdin, T. C. London, Privately published,1850] . It’s eminent organist William Blitheman also lay here [“Notes on Old City Churches: their organs, organists and musical associations” Pearce,C.W.: London, Winthrop Rogers Ltd, 1909] . Following the fire it was united to St Nicholas Cole Abbey and partial records still survive at IGI. [ [http://www.gendocs.demon.co.uk/city-ch.html Genealogical Web-Site] ] .
