Story

St Mary-at-Hill Church for Billingsgate

St Mary-at-Hill has served in the Parish of Billingsgate for nearly a thousand years. An ‘ancient church’ on this site is mentioned in a legal document dated 1177, so we can conjecture with some certainty that a church dedicated to St Mary the Virgin has stood here since at least the end of the 11th Century. Billingsgate Quay was an important Anglo-Saxon harbour in the 10th and 11th centuries. The route north into the old city would have led past the church. The steep rise of the way up from the river gave it the name of St Mary at or on the Hill. The original church was no doubt smaller than the present building which has been extended, altered and renovated throughout its history. The Churchwardens’ accounts from the C15th inform us that by then it had side chapels dedicated to St Stephen, St Katherine, St Ann and St Christopher.

Mission

There has been a church here in Billingsgate for at least 1000 years, and today St Mary's continues this ministry, serving a thriving community in the busy heart of the City of London.

Great lunchtime recitals - bring a sandwich
A lovely little hidden gem that I came across. Nice staff who allowed us to look round & use their loos! but I think it's only open at certain times and it was behind offices thru a communal gateway which possibly may be locked out of hours?... Beautiful tiny old graveyard outside
Rather lovely city church tucked away down a quiet lane near Monument. A refuge from nearby hustle and bustle of London Bridge. Very few lights so after dark is quite atmospheric!
Gorgeous church with plenty of natural light. It also has excellent acoustic for classical music events which is a regularly feature here.
Beautiful Wren church with coffered dome. Terrible fire several years ago and the original wooden furniture and fitting have never been put back, so slightly weird space now. The position of the church, tucked away down a narrow cobbled street, gives a good impression of what City churches were like 300 years ago.
An Oasis in the middle of the city of London. The Bach Vespers Concert was beautiful
What a beautiful church. Tucked away but worth finding. Acoustics are incredible if there is a concert of some type on
