The first suffragon Bishop of Stepney was consecrated in 1895. Ralph Baldock was the Bishop of London.

Somehow, when I read in the paper that St Mary's ("the church in the middle of the road" was celebrating its 700th anniversary), I thought it was St Mary le Strand. Thanks for putting me right.

Yet another church in the middle of the road is St Clement Danes - which does appear in the nursery rhyme.

Churches with tube stations named after them? I can think of Blackfriars, Marylebone, St Pancras, St Pauls, Temple, Upminster, and Westminster.

Sorry for triple post: it wasn't in the paper, but in your blog yesterday I saw the news of the anniversary!

London churches on the main line railways: St Helier, St Johns, and St Margarets

You say that the last Rector died in May, but the Guardian obit was published on 21 April 2011.

dg apologies: Yes, sorry, April.

A few more named after churches
Hornchurch, Whitechapel, St Mary Cray
and, just three stops from Bow Church: All Saints

Sadly, Merton Abbey closed many years ago.
