History

1822 The building of the church commenced. This Commissioners' Church of the 1st Parliamentary Grant was built at a cost of £19,612. John Nash was the architect and Robert Streather was the builder. This was the last surviving one of John Nash's churches. Work was completed in 1824.
1824 3 bells were cast by Thomas Mears II and hung in the tower. The clock was supplied at the same time by Moore of Clerkenwell.
1940 A landmine explosion caused severe damage to the roof.
