St Andrew Hubbard

The church stood in the Billingsgate ward of the City of London. The east end of the church adjoined Rope Lane, later known as Lucas Lane and then Love Lane; it is now called Lovat Lane.{{cite book|title=Ben Johnson's London : A Jacobean Place Name Dictionary|year=2009|publisher=University Of Georgia Press|isbn=9780820332918|page=122|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=sPLExnmXvCYC&pg=PA122}} It took its name from Hubert, a mediaeval benefactor. Its parish records are among the most detailed in the United Kingdom,[http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract;jsessionid=48FF26D6E81ADF707DFF2E3546E8D44B.tomcat1?fromPage=online&aid=102251 Parish records analysed] and have been extensively researched.{{cite book|title=The Church records of St Andrew Hubbard, Eastcheap c1450-1570|editor=Burgess, C.|location=London|publisher= London Record Society|year=1999 |isbn=0-900952-34-2}}

The church was repaired and "richly beautified" in 1630, at a cost to the parishioners of more than £600. It was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666 and not rebuilt. Instead the parish was united with that of St Mary-at-Hill{{cite book|title=The London Encyclopaedia|author1=Hibbert, C |author2=Weinreb, D |author3=Keay, J |location=London|publisher=Pan Macmillan|orig-date=1983 |date=2008 |version=Revised |isbn=978-1-4050-4924-5}} and the site sold to the city authorities. Part of the land was used to widen the roadway, and the rest to build the Royal Weigh House. A parish vestry was built at the east end of the weighhouse, beneath which were "a Portico, Publick Stocks, a Cage, and a Little Room".{{cite book|title=Repetorium Ecclesiasticum Parochiale Londinense|author-link=Richard Newcourt (historian)|last=Newcourt|first=Richard|location=London|pages=263–5|year=1708|volume=1}}

A Parish boundary mark can be found in nearby Philpot Lane. Today Citibank occupies part of the site.
