The footprint of the church remains at the junction of London's
Aldermanbury and Love Lane, planted with bushes and trees; a memorial plaque has been placed by Westminster College in the footprint. The gardens also house a monument to
Henry Condell and
John Heminges, key figures in the production of the
First Folio of
William Shakespeare's plays and co-partners with him in the
Globe Theatre. Condell and Heminges lived in the St Mary Aldermanbury parish and were buried in its churchyard. This monument is topped with a bust of Shakespeare. The remains of the church were designated a Grade II
listed building on 5 June 1972.[5] The monuments are separately listed.[6]
Notable burials in the church included the notorious "hanging judge"
Judge Jeffreys.[8][9] Of the interment of Judge Jeffreys,
Leigh Hunt wrote:
"Jeffreys was taken on the twelfth of September, 1688. He was first interred privately in the Tower; but three years afterwards, when his memory was something blown over, his friends obtained permission, by a warrant of the queen's[10] dated September 1692, to take his remains under their own care, and he was accordingly reinterred in a vault under the communion table of St. Mary, Aldermanbury, 2nd Nov. 1694. In 1810, during certain repairs, the coffin was uncovered for a time, and the public had a sight of the box containing the mortal remains of the feared and hated magistrate."[11]
Also buried in the church were:
Edmund Calamy, Presbyterian minister, who was the perpetual curate of St Mary Aldermanbury 1639–1662.
