Marylebone

Marylebone

Marylebone gets its name from a church called "St Mary's" (now known as St Marylebone Parish Church), which was built on the bank of a small stream or "bourne", called the Tybourne or Tyburn, that rose further north in Swiss Cottage, eventually running along what is now Marylebone Lane before it was built over. The current building was built to the designs of Christopher Wren, 1671-1673, with the 223-foot tower built 1680. It was considered the second most important church in the City of London after St Paul's Cathedral.

Marylebone is in an area of London that can be roughly defined as the area bounded by Oxford Street to the south, Marylebone Road to the north, Edgware Road to the west and Portland Place to the east.

This building was dedicated to St Mary by the Bourne, though it was later renamed St Marylebone. Francis Bacon was married in this church on 11th May 1606.
In 1740 a new church was built on the same site. This was the church the Reverend Charles Wesley must have known during this time in London and it is in the graveyard that Charles Wesley's tomb is to be found. Charles Wesley died in 1788 and it was in this year that Lord Byron was Christened at the church. Lord Nelson attended services in this church, his daughter being Christened on 3rd May 1893.

In 1817 a fourth new building was consecrated. This was built in neo-classical style and designed by Thomas Hardwick. The new church building bordered New Road (now called Marylebone Road). Two famous people were born in the parish in 1812 and both attended the church, Robert Browning and Charles Dickens.
