History

Initially an 1890s mission church of St Mary's Church, Hendon then a London Diocesan Home Mission, it became a consolidated chapelry of its own in 1923, taking parts of Hendon and Finchley parishes.[1] Its 1915 building by John Samuel Alder had its nave extended and a chancel and Lady Chapel added in 1932-1934 by Ernest Charles Shearman.[1] A replacement nave was designed in 1962 by Romilly Craze. August 1994 saw the Anglican congregation move out, with its parish area absorbed into that of St Alban's Church, Golders Green.[1][3]
