The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (York, 1961) notes: "The church of ST. MICHAEL-WITHOUTWALMGATE BAR is mentioned in 1279 when the endowment, together with that of St. Peter-leWillows, was said to be insufficient to support a priest in both churches and the archbishop suggested that they should be united. [...] St. Michael's and St. Peter's were not united in 1279 and St. Michael's is not otherwise mentioned until 1365 when it was united with St. Lawrence's [...] A site for the church on the south side of Lawrence Street just outside the bar has been suggested. No trace has survived of the parish."
