CONTEXT

Administrative/Biographical history:

The area known as Angell Town was originally farmland, developed for housing in the 1850s. The site of the church of Saint John the Evangelist was donated by Benedict John Angell Angell in 1852, while the building costs were met by William Stone of Herne Hill. The church was constructed by 1853, designed by Benjamin Ferrey in a Gothic style. A parish was assigned in the same year. A vestry was added in 1882. The building was damaged by fire in 1947 but was subsequently restored.

Immediate source of acquisition:

ALLIED MATERIALS

Related material:

Records of St Catherine, Gresham Road, Brixton, Lambeth. For baptisms at this Church, c. 1895 - 1900 at least, see the baptism registers of St John, Angell Town, Brixton. It appears that the entries were copied up several years at a time, so that it is necessary to search the St John's registers for up to five years or so later than the date of the baptism at St Catherine's.
