The Mortality Bill for the year 1665, published by the Parish Clerks' Company, shows 97 parishes within 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.^[8]

Following the fire it was united to St Magnus-the-Martyr.^[9]
