History
The Poplar Chapel or East India Chapel, a chapel of ease to Saint Dunstan, Stepney, was founded by the East India Company. In 1823 a new church, All Saints, built to the east of the old chapel, became a parish church for Poplar. The records of the chapel were transferred to the new church. The chapel with its burial ground remained in use and in 1867 it was made the parish church of a new parish, Saint Matthias (P88/MTS).
In July 1952 All Hallows, East India Docks (P88/ALH1) and Saint Frideswide, Follett Street (P88/FRD) were united with All Saints, and registers and records after this date relate to the united benefice. In September 1964 All Saints became part of the South Poplar Area Ministry.
