St Mary Overy church, now known as Southwark Cathedral, as viewed from the south. The church which would become St. Marie Overie, also known as Southwark cathedral, was consecrated in 604 by a Bishop of Rochester known as Paulinus. On July 10th 1212 the cathedral burned down in a fire which also damaged the first London Bridge. It was rebuilt and it is this Church which was depicted by Hollar in 1661 as no major renovations which would change the view of the cathedral building as seen in this etching.
