It is called in ancient records St Maria ad Montem. This church is of considerable antiquity, since a chantry was founded in it by Rose de Wrytell, in [about] 1330...and was rebuilt in 1497, and was much damaged by the great fire of 1666. After substantial repair, between the years 1672 and 1677, by Sir Christopher Wren, the parish of St Andrew Hubbard was united to it by act of parliament. [see that church]

It is a rectory, in the city, diocese and archdeaconry of London...'
