The Mortality Bill for the year 1665 , published by the Parish Clerk’s Company, shows 97 parishes within the City of London[1]. By September 6th the following year the city lay in ruins[2], 86 churches having been destroyed[3]. 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[4]. Fifty-one were chosen[5], but St Botolph was perhaps the unluckiest not to be rebuilt [6]. It was originally to have been[7] but part of the site was required for the passage leading to Botolph's Wharf and part for the widening of Thames Street so it was sacrificed [8] and united to St George Botolph Lane [9]. The parish dated back to mediaeval times[10] and when excavated during the creation of the Billingsgate Lorry Park yielded several valuable finds[11]. Partial records exist at IGI[12]. Pevsner found part of the churchyard during his perambulations in the mid-Sixties[13]
