CONTEXT
Administrative/Biographical history:
Crouch Hill Presbyterian Church, Holly Park, originated in an iron chapel built in the Finsbury Park area in 1873. The Holly Park site was bought with the help of Sir George Bunce. A lecture hall and vestries were built in 1876; services were held in this hall until a permanent chapel opened in 1878. A new hall seating over 500 and other rooms behind the church were begun in 1889. The church closed in 1975 and the buildings were demolished.
