St Michael-le-Querne, also called St Michael ad Bladum, was a church in the City of London.
History
Its dedication derives from a 12th-century reference[3] to it being near a place “where corn is sold".[4] Rebuilt in 1430,[5] and beautified in 1617,[6] the parish officers were re-appointed for the last time in July 1666.[7]
Destruction
The Mortality Bill for the year 1665, published by the Parish Clerk’s Company, shows 97 parishes within the City of London.[8] By September 6 the city lay in ruins, 86 churches having been destroyed.[9] 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.[10] Fifty-one were chosen, but St Michael-le-Querne immediately to the north east of Paternoster Row [11] in Farringdon Within Ward was one of the unlucky minority never to be rebuilt.[12] Following the fire it was united to St Vedast Foster Lane and partial records still survive at IGI.[13]
