This is the celebrated Saint, who, according to the absurd and ridiculous fables of the Papists, carried his head two miles after it was cut off. The epithet of Backchurch, was given to this edifice from its situation behind a row of houses, to distinguish it from St. Gabriel’s church, which stood in the middle of Fenchurch street. The old church was destroyed by the great fire in 1666, and the present edifice, which is built with stone, was erected in its room. This parish is a rectory, and one of the peculiars belonging to the Archbishop of Canterbury. The rector receives 120_l._ a year in lieu of tithes. DIPPING _alley_, Fair street, Horselydown.
