MARY STAINING, the church of, was situated before the fire of London, on the north side of Oat-lane, Noble-street, Foster-lane, and derives its addition from the Saxon word Staining, of stone, being so built, whilst others were of wood. After the great fire, the parish was united to that of St. Michael, Wood-street." [J. Elmes, A Topographical Dictionary of London and its Environs (1831) - transcribed by Brian Randell]
