Background
History
The church was built in 1847–1850 to designs of Thomas Cundy (junior), assisted by William Butterfield. It was one of the earliest Ritualistic churches, and the first in London in which all pews were free (charging for pews was normal practice at the time). Three paintings in the crypt are by Charles Edgar Buckeridge. In 1958 the church was designated as a Grade I listed building.
