CONTEXT

Administrative/Biographical history:

The parish of Saint John, Cubitt Town, Isle of Dogs, was established in 1873. It originated in a mission begun in 1866; which was replaced by a permanent church in 1872, designed by Sir A W Blomfield. The building was badly damaged by enemy action during the Second World War and was demolished. The 'Island Parishes' of Saint John's, Christ Church (P88/CTC) and Saint Luke's, Westferry Road (P88/LUK) were united in 1952 and the old mission hall was converted for use as a church. This also had to be demolished following a fire in 1970. The modern parish of Christ and Saint John with Saint Luke now uses two buildings: Christ Church and Saint Luke's.
