Context
Administrative/Biographical history:
Saint Paul's Presbyterian Church, Croydon, was founded in 1900. The church hall was constructed in 1901 and the church building completed in 1905 on Croham Road, South Croydon. When the Presbyterian and Congregational Churches merged in 1972 the church became Saint Paul's United Reformed Church.
A Presbyterian Mission Church was established on Johnson Road, West Croydon, by Saint Paul's Presbyterian Church and Saint George's Presbyterian Church. It was formally recognised as a mission by the Presbytery of London South in March 1912 and was placed under the oversight of Saint Paul's. The Mission was initally known as the "Presbyterian Church of England Johnson Road Mission" but by the 1940s was being referred to as "Saint Paul's Presbyterian Mission Church, Johnson Road". When the Presbyterian and Congregational Churches merged in 1972 the Mission became Saint George's United Reformed Church. It subsequently appears to have closed or merged with another church.
