"ST. MILDRED, Bread-Street, the church of, stands on the east side of Bread-street, and is so called from its situation, and from being dedicated to Mildred, a Saxon saint, daughter of Merwaldus, and brother to Penda, King of the Mercians. . . It is a rectory, founded and built by Lord Trenchant, of St. Alban's, about the year 1300, and enlarged in 1428, by Sir John Chadworth . . . The old church was burned down in 1666, and rebuilt in 1683 by Sir Christopher Wren. The front towards Bread-street is built of Portland stone, in a picturesque Italian style. . . After the fire of London, the parish of St. Margaret Moses, was united to it by act of parliament. . . These united parishes are a rectory, in the city, diocese and archdeaconry of London, and in the alternate patronage of the Lord Chancellor, for the crown, and a private individual. The present rector is the Rev. T. G. Ackland, D.D., who was instituted by the Lord Chancellor in 1818." [James Elmes. A Topographical Dictionary of London and its Environs (1831) - transcribed by Brian Randell]
