St. Mary Magdalen, Milk Street

St. Mary Magdalen, Milk Street, Medieval church in City of London, England

St. Mary Magdalen, Milk Street was a medieval parish church located on the east side of Milk Street near Cheapside, surrounded by merchant houses and commercial buildings. The building occupied a prominent position in the Cripplegate Ward Within, a busy trading area of the City of London.

Built in the 12th century, this church stood for over 500 years as a religious landmark in the medieval City of London. The Great Fire of 1666 destroyed the building entirely, leaving no remains.

The parish served as a gathering place for Protestant worship in the heart of a busy merchant district during the 1600s. Local residents relied on this space for religious life and community connection amid the surrounding trade and commerce.

The site remained empty for many years after the fire before being redeveloped for different purposes. Between 1835 and 1879, the location served as a school building, providing education to local students.

Sir Thomas More, the famous statesman who resisted King Henry VIII's break with Rome, was baptized here as the church stood near his childhood home on Milk Street. This connection links one of England's most important historical figures to this now-vanished place of worship.
