History
Saint Peter's was known as the Oxford Chapel, which was constructed in 1724 to the design of Gibbs. It became Saint Peter's in 1832. The church never had a parish, but was a chapel-of-ease to All Souls, Langham Place (P89/ALS). In mid-Victorian times the incumbent Fredrick Denison Maurice was leader of a group of Christian Socialists which included Charles Kingsley.
