The church escaped serious damage in WWII and was designated a Grade 1 listed building on January 4 1950. The church has one of the oldest sets of churchwarden's records in the City of London. In 1906 the parishes of St. Peter le Poer (demolished in 1906) and St. Benet Fink (demolished in 1846) were united with St. Michael's.
