Context
Administrative/Biographical history:
Saint Matthew's originated in a chapel, the Mulberry Gardens Chapel, founded in 1790 by the Countess of Huntingdon's Commission. In 1847 it was purchased by the London Diocesan Church Building Society and opened as a mission chapel for the parish of Saint George in the East (P93/GEO). A parish was assigned in 1860; however, the parish was reunited with Saint George in the East in 1891. The church building was then used as a parish hall.
