A New History of St. Michael's
Cornhill

St Michael’s, Cornhill by Peter Hughes, published January 2008, with
a preface by the Rector, the Rev’d. Dr Peter Mullen.
This new history, based on the records in the Guildhall Library, gives a
picture of the late-medieval St Michael’s, burnt down in 1666, of the
late-17th century church, as rebuilt in 1670-73, and of the High
Victorian church, as remodelled by Sir George Gilbert Scott. It covers
the incumbencies of successive rectors and the story of St Michael’s as
a centre of musical excellence and is followed by a personal reflection
by Jonathan Rennert, director of music.
