Notes about the Church |
In 1627 John Marshall, a baker who made his fortune through building up his business of quality breads who lived in Axe Yard SE1, made his will leaving his tenements in Axe Yard and Borough High Street, and his lands in Newington and St. George's Fields and elsewhere to trustees for various charitable purposes. Among other things they were to raise from his property the sum of £700 and use it for the erection of a new church to be called "Christ Church". |
