City Companies introduction:
Guilds of the City of London were formed originally, some as early as the 12th century, to regulate their trade and those who practised it. They became known as Livery Companies from their distinctive uniform or livery. From Edward II's time all Freemen of the City had to belong to one of the guilds, and by the late fifteen hundreds, membership of a Livery Company did not necessarily indicate a man's actual occupation. Important sources are Cliff Webb's London Livery Company apprenticeship indexes, which are also available from the SoG on-line bookshop, and Boyd's Inhabitants of London. Both are also on-line on the Origins website. General works about the City Livery Companies include the following but the Society holds many titles on individual companies. To find what we have for a particular company, click on the link to SOGCAT and do a Subject search for the name of the company.

A description of London c1186 says that there were then, in London and the suburbs, thirteen churches belonging to convents and 126 lesser Parish Churches. Well over a hundred continued to exist until the Great Fire of 1666 in which 87 were destroyed or badly damaged and of these only 51 were rebuilt. The parishes of the churches not rebuilt were each united to one whose church was to rise again but each continued to function as a separate parish with vestries and churchwardens as before. By the early 19th century redevelopment in the City threatened other 'superfluous' churches: St Michael Crooked Lane was demolished (1831) to make way for the new London Bridge and general 'tidying up' destroyed St Bartholomew by the Exchange (1841) and St Benet Fink (1844). More would have gone had not the Bishop required the City to provide thirteen new churches in the suburbs in exchange for those that were proposed to be demolished. However 1860 brought the Union of Benefices Act to facilitate the removal, with consent of the Patron of the Living and the Vestry, of many churches deemed superfluous. Under the Act some 22 churches were demolished, 16 of them being Wren's replacements for those lost in the Great Fire. Another onslaught upon the churches in the City came with the bombing of the Second World War with destruction or severe damage to more than twenty of which about half were not rebuilt. Today there are a mere 38 surviving.
City of London burial grounds
The churchyards of churches destroyed in the Great Fire continued to be used after the churches were lost, however many were becoming filled up. In particular those used for the bodies of plague victims in 1665. Many churches therefore established burial grounds on the edges of the then built-up area. The Burials Act, 1852 also meant that burial ceased in all the Inner London burial grounds at various dates in that decade. Subsequent burials took place further away at non-denominational cemeteries established by commercial companies or local government authorities. The parishes seem not to have kept any records of where their parishioners were buried. The City of London Cemetery at Little Ilford, Essex opened in 1856.
