ST. PETER-LE-POOR.
In the "London Gazette" for the 18th May, 1906, it was announced that
a,n Order in Council has been issued upon the application of the Ecclesiastical
Commissioners for effecting the union of the Benefices of St. Michael,
Cornhill (a rectory) and St. Peter le-Poor (also a rectory) with the vicarage
of St. Benet Fink annexed, under the title of "The United Benefice of
St. Michael, Cornhill, with St. Peter-le-Poor and St. Benet Fink.
The scheme provided that the church of St. Peter-le-Poor be taken down,
and the Ecclesiastical Commissioners were empowered to sell the materials
and site together with any ground adjoining. This necessitated the removal
and re-interment of any human remains found therein.
The Secretary of State, on the application of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners
on behalf of the Vestry Clerk, gave his consent under Sec. 16 of
the Union of Benefices Act for the removal of such remains under the
direction of the Medical Officer of Health for the City of London.
At the time of writing, the necessary arrangements are being made for the
exhumation of a quantity of human remains found in the vaults beneath the
church, which will be removed and re-interred at the City of London Cemetery,
Little Ilford, under my supervision, and in accordance with the regulations in
force in the City for such removal.
