Context
Administrative/Biographical history:
The church was formed in Little St Helens in c 1672 as a Presbyterian meeting house. The congregation was dissolved in 1790 after a serious decline, whereupon the building was used for a succession of independent churches. The last of these was dissolved in about 1795, and the buildings taken down in 1799. It was known successively as Three Cranes Church, Thames Street, and Mr Pike's Church (so called after Samuel Pike, pastor 1747-1765).
