St Andrew Hubbard
St Andrew Hubbard was a parish church in the City of London destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666.
History of St Andrew Hubbard:
The church was situated close to Philpot Lane. in the area known as Little Eastcheap and took its name from Hubert, a mediaeval benefactor. Its parish records are among the most detailed in the UK and have been extensively researched, for example they tell us it was a thriving but rat-prone living.
The majority of the churches in the City of London were destroyed by the Great Fire in 1666, following which a Rebuilding Act was passed and a committee set up under Sir Christopher Wren to decide which would be rebuilt. Fifty-one were chosen, but St Andrew Hubbard was one of those not to be rebuilt. Instead the parish was united with that of St Mary-at-Hill and the site used to build the Royal Weigh House. A Parish boundary mark can be found in nearby Philpot Lane. Today Citibank occupies part of the site.
