History

The congregation, founded in 1867, initially met in a building in Archway Street that combined a school and a church. A temporary tin tabernacle was erected next to the school in 1878.[2]

The current building was erected in 1891–3. The architect was Charles Innes,[3] a member of the congregation,[2] who also designed the additions to the nave, chancel and north aisle of St Mary's Church, Barnes.[4]

A vestry, in a matching style, was added in 1936.[1]

Notable clergy
  • Joe Hawes, later Dean of St Edmundsbury, served as priest-in-charge, and then team vicar, from 1996 to 2003[5]
  • Bruce Ruddock, later Director of the Anglican Centre in Rome, served as priest-in-charge from 1988 to 1995[6]
