The Church of Saint Mary, the Virgin, Aldermanbury
Pictured above is The Church of St. Mary, the Virgin, Aldermanbury (as it now stands in Fulton). St Mary’s was first established over 800 years ago in London, England. It probably came into existence as a chapel for the Kings’ Alderman, appointed to govern the area. Aldermanbury means “fortified residence of the Alderman.” It then became a parish church.
During the Protestant Reformation, the church became a center of the Puritan movement. In 1621 the parishoners purchased the right to appoint their own minister. The prominent Presbyterian, Edward Calamay, served as minister from 1639 to 1662.
After the Great Fire of London (1666) the church was rebuilt on its medieval foundations under the direction of Sir Christopher Wren. The church today has been restored in accord with Wren’s design. It continued as an important London parish church until World War II, when it was extensively damaged by an incendiary bomb in 1940.
When the stones of the war-damaged church were brought to Fulton, Missouri, to serve as a memorial to Sir Winston Churchill, St. Mary’s was dedicated as an ecumenical house of worship. The church serves as the Westminster College Chapel. During the school year, regular and special services are conducted for the college community and visitors.
The Robinett family may be the only family group in the United States that can worship in the church, in this country, in which their remote progenitor was married in Europe. In 1653, Allen Robinett and Margaret Symm were married, September 29, in St. Mary’s in London.
