St. Mary le Strand is a church at the eastern end of the Strand in London, United Kingdom.

History

St. Mary was one of the twelve churches commissioned by Queen Anne, after an act was passed by the Parliament to construct fifty new churches in the city. The church was built over the former sit of the largest maypole in the city, which fellow over from high wind in 1672.[1]

Originally, the church was to feature a 250-foot clumn and a statue to honor Queen Anne. Although the design was approved and the materials were acquired, the plan was quietly cancelled following the queen's death in August of 1714.[1]
