From Wikipedia
The first church on the site was built in the thirteenth century, but this was soon replaced by a bigger building, begun in 1306 and consecrated in 1326. This new church was the second largest in medieval London.
The medieval church was destroyed by the Great Fire of London in 1666. Reconstruction was assigned to Wren, who oversaw a decades long-programme that rebuilt St. Paul's Cathedral and approximately 50 parish churches in the fire zone.
Galleries stood over the north and south aisles, built at special request of the officers of Christ's Hospital as seating for the school's students. [Note: Humphrey Hill attended school at Christ Church, indicating a family association with this church.]
The Christ's Hospital boys continued to attend services, sitting in the galleries. According to the pre-war guide book to the church, they included the young Samuel Coleridge and Charles Lamb. Sixth Form boys tasked with maintaining order sat in special seats placed over those of the younger students. A few boys carved initials in the woodwork.
The church would have been new when Edith was baptized there.

From Wikipedia
St. Bride's may be one of the most ancient churches in London, with worship perhaps dating back to the conversion of the Middle Saxons in the 7th century. The present St Bride's is at least the seventh church to have stood on the site.
In 1666, the following year, the church was completely destroyed during the Great Fire of London, which burned much of the city. After the fire, the old church was replaced by an entirely new building designed in 1672 by Sir Christopher Wren, who designed and built St. Paul's cathedral. St. Bride's was one of his largest and most expensive works, taking seven years to build.
So the church was relatively new when Edith was buried in the church yard.
