These views come from Henry Chamberlain’s New and Compleat History and Survey of the Cities of London and Westminster (London, c.1770), one of the earliest illustrated surveys of London.
This leaf places the medieval Abbey church, with its long association with coronation and royal burial, beside the Admiralty Office, administrative headquarters of Britain’s rapidly expanding naval empire. There is a symbolic partnership of church and state in the Hanoverian period. It also situates the Abbey within a working district rather than the tourist.
Date: c. 1769–1772
Notes: Abbey survives; Admiralty buildings expanded in the nineteenth century; district significantly redeveloped.

These views come from Henry Chamberlain’s New and Compleat History and Survey of the Cities of London and Westminster (London, c.1770), one of the earliest illustrated surveys of London.
Three major East London churches serving rapidly growing districts beyond the old City walls.

Shoreditch and Bishopsgate anchor older suburban parishes tied to trade, industry and migration. This leaf documents the ecclesiastical infrastructure of London’s eighteenth-century eastern expansion.
Date: c. 1769–1772 (approx. 7.5 × 11.5 in)

These views come from Henry Chamberlain’s New and Compleat History and Survey of the Cities of London and Westminster (London, c.1770), one of the earliest illustrated surveys of London.
A dense cluster of City churches serving the commercial district around Lombard Street, long associated with finance and overseas trade. St Mary Woolnoth, rebuilt by Hawksmoor in 1716–27, is among the most architecturally distinctive churches of the period, its twin towers forming an austere profile within narrow streets. The plate captures London’s ecclesiastical density before nineteenth-century bank expansions reduced the number of churches in the City.
Date: c. 1769–1772
Notes: St Mary Woolnoth survives; other churches demolished during nineteenth-century commercial redevelopment.

St Stephen Walbrook, rebuilt by Christopher Wren, is regarded by many as his most elegantly proportioned church.

Together they convey the liturgical infrastructure before Victorian commercial pressures produced large-scale demolitions.
Date: c. 1769–1772
Notes: St Stephen survives; several neighbouring parishes demolished in the nineteenth century; only fragments remain of some.

These six parishes formed the core of London’s eastern riverbank, serving sailors, shipwrights, watermen, merchants, and workers tied to the docks. Stepney was the ancient “mother parish” from which the others were carved as populations surged.
Date: c. 1769–1772
Notes: Major dock construction in the nineteenth century reshaped the area; several churches rebuilt or altered; Whitechapel church demolished in 1953 after bomb damage.

These views come from Henry Chamberlain’s New and Compleat History and Survey of the Cities of London and Westminster (London, c.1770), one of the earliest illustrated surveys of London.

Three important northern suburban parishes occupying the fringe between the City and the still-rural Middlesex countryside.

Date: c. 1769–1772
Notes: Islington church rebuilt in the nineteenth century; Clerkenwell church rebuilt 1790s; St Luke’s closed 1959 and later repurposed as a music venue.

View of St Mary-le-Bow Cheapside, View of St Mary Aldermary Church Bow Road, and View of St Mildred’s Church Bread Street £10 (approx. 7.5 × 11.5 in)
These views come from Henry Chamberlain’s New and Compleat History and Survey of the Cities of London and Westminster (London, c.1770), one of the earliest illustrated surveys of London.

These three churches formed part of the City’s western parish belt.

Date: c. 1769–1772
Notes: St Mary-le-Bow survives; Aldermary restored; St Mildred destroyed in WWII and not rebuilt.

Many of these churches were rebuilt by Wren after the Great Fire, though St Giles Cripplegate survived and retains its medieval fabric. The plate records the extraordinary concentration of parish churches that once existed within a short walk of the Guildhall, reflecting how residential this part of the city once was.
Date: c. 1769–1772
Notes: St Giles survives; several others demolished in the nineteenth century as the commercial district expanded.

This leaf documents several City parishes east of the Royal Exchange, near Leadenhall Market and the shipping offices.

Date: c. 1769–1772
Notes: St Andrew Undershaft survives; others demolished or altered during nineteenth-century commercial expansion.

Parishes clustered near the riverfront wards between Queenhithe and the Fish Street markets, areas historically tied to provisioning, wharf commerce, and food distribution. Several of these churches were rebuilt after the Fire in restrained classical forms suitable to narrow medieval plots.
Date: c. 1769–1772
Notes: Most churches demolished in the nineteenth century; St James Garlickhithe survives; Cannon Street later widened for rail.

These views come from Henry Chamberlain’s New and Compleat History and Survey of the Cities of London and Westminster (London, c.1770), one of the earliest illustrated surveys of London.

Two City churches frame the early Bank of England in this composite view. The image highlights the coexistence of medieval parishes and emergent financial capitalism in the eighteenth-century City. Within decades, the expansion of banking offices led to the demolition of many nearby churches, making this plate a document of a soon-to-vanish ecclesiastical landscape.
Date: c. 1769–1772
Notes: Both churches demolished during nineteenth-century bank enlargement; Bank rebuilt by Sir John Soane.
