St Faith under St Paul's, Castle Baynard Ward, City of London

Notes:
St Faith under St Paul's in Castle Baynard Ward was an unusual parish within the City of London.[2] The church was physically removed in 1256[3] to allow for the eastern expansion of Old St Paul's Cathedral.[4][5]



The parish appears as "St Faith within the monastery of St Paul's, London" in 1381, with mention of John Phelip, as a former parson.[6]



Until the reign of Edward VI the parishioners worshipped at the end of the west crypt under St Paul’s Quire.[7] Sir Simonds D'Ewes, the diarist, attended the wedding of his father Paul and his stepmother, Lady Elizabeth Denton, in "St. Faith's under St. Paul's" on 5 March 1623, and Sir Simonds's younger sister Mary also married there on 4 December 1626[8] The bills of mortality for the year 1665, published by the Parish Clerk's Company, shows 97 parishes within the City of London, of which St Faith was one.[9] From the reign of Edward VI until the Great Fire the parishioners, mostly booksellers in Paternoster Row,[10] transferred to the Jesus Chapel, their separateness emphasised by a screen.[11]



After the Great Fire,[12] the parish was united with St Augustine Watling Street,[13] an arrangement that worked amicably well long after anyone who could have remembered the old cathedral had died,[14] the name also being used in official records.[15] and plans.[16] Partial records survive at IGI[17] and a drawing by Thomas Kerrich is preserved at the British Library while visitors to the rebuilt cathedral are still reminded of the association during their tour.[18]
