St Margaret, New Fish Street, was a parish church in the City of London.

[2] By September 6 the city lay in ruins, 86 churches having been destroyed in the Great Fire of London.

[3] The Rebuilding of London Act 1670 was passed and a committee set up under the stewardship of Sir Christopher Wren to decide which would be rebuilt.

[4] Fifty-one were chosen, but St Margaret New Fish Street where the Monument now stands[5] in Bridge ward was one of the minority never to be rebuilt.

[6] Variously called St Margaret Bridge Street and St Margaret Fish Street Hill,[7] it received many gifts from the pilgrims who passed it on the way to and from London Bridge.
