[ The "Churches of the City of London" Reynolds,H: London, Bodley Head, 1922] In 1670 a Rebuilding Act was passed and a committee set up under the stewardship of Sir Christopher Wren to decide which would be rebuilt. [ "Wren" Whinney,M London Thames & Hudson, 1971 ISBN 0500201129] Fifty-one were chosen, but St Mary Woolchurch Haw where the Mansion House, London now stands [“Notes on Old City Churches: their organs, organists and musical associations” Pearce,C.W.: London, Winthrop Rogers Ltd, 1909] in Walbrook Ward was one of the unlucky minority never to be rebuilt. [ "The City of London Churches" Betjeman, J. Andover, Pitkin, 1967 (rpnt 1992) ISBN 0853725659 ] Described by Stow as a “reasonably fair and large” ["A Survey of London, Vol I" Stow,J p446 : Originally 1598- this edn,London, A.Fullarton & Co,1890 ] , its dedication was derived from the wool that was weighed from its main cross beam ["A Dictionary of London" Harben,H: London, Herbert Jenkins, 1918] .

Following the fire it was united to St Mary Woolnoth [ [http://www.combs-families.org/combs/records/england/lnd/stmarywoolchurchhaw.htm New parish details] ] and quickly became a thriving concern [ [http://protocat.nla.gov.au/Record/237237 Farewell sermon of first incumbent] ] .
