Did you know that two of Shakespeare's friends, John Heminges (1556-1630) and Henry Condell (?-1627), were churchwardens and trustees at St. Mary Aldermanbury? All born in Stratford-upon-Avon, Hemings and Condell were members of Shakespeare's theater company, were two of the three people mentioned in Shakespeare's will, and were co-editors of the First Folio of Shakespeare’s plays.
Because of Shakespeare’s close proximity to the homes of his two friends and St. Mary, Aldermanbury Church itself, historians have speculated that Shakespeare must have worshiped there. While no record of his name appears in church records and his attendance would have been infrequent at best, many researchers believe he might have attended services with his friends Heminges and Condell, who were extremely active in the church, or must have at least attended the christenings of their children or the parish feasts.
