St Mary le Bow drawing (1837)

'St Mary le Bow and St Pancras Soper Lane with All Hallows Honey Lane, the church of, is situated on the south side of Cheapside, at the corners of Bow Lane and [St Mary le] Bow Churchyard. It is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and derives its addition from being the first church built in London upon the arches, and called Bows. It was founded before the reign of William the Norman [Conqueror] and was first called New Mary Church, but afterwards received the epithet of De Arcubus, or Le Bow, in Westcheap.'[1]

After the Great Fire of London (1666), All Hallows Honey Lane Parish united with St Mary-le-Bow and St Pancras Soper Lane Parish.[2]
