History
The church was built in 1847–1850 to designs of Thomas Cundy (junior), assisted by William Butterfield. It was one of the earliest Ritualistic churches, and the first in London in which all pews were free (charging for pews was normal practice at the time).[3]
In 1958 the church was designated as a Grade I listed building.[1]

gollark: CarrOSt just doesn't work. What even is a carrost?
gollark: This should actually be less disruptive than I thought, I can just isolate the privileged stuff in a separate polychoron process instead of just shutting down all user code.
gollark: What is, the evil exploit someone made?
gollark: It's a very clever exploit - they load some trusted code via PotatOS Privileged Execution™, then send it fake HTTP responses containing code.
gollark: I've probably patched it now (hard to test, because one of my changes broke the exploit code but in a way which could be worked around), but at the cost of causing minor breakage in a mostly unused feature.
