The parish was effectively merged with St Mary le Strand from 1564 to 1727 when the inhabitants shared the Savoy Chapel, becoming known as "St Mary Savoy"[2] and appearing in the bills of mortality from 1606.

[3] In the early 18th century an attempt was made to formally combine the parishes.

The parishioners of St Mary le Strand were made to renounce their claim before they were permitted to use the Savoy Chapel again.

[4] The matter was finally resolved when a new church of St Mary le Strand was constructed.

[3] In 1855 the precinct of the Savoy was included within the area of the Strand District and became part of the Metropolitan Borough of Westminster in 1900.
