History
Camden Church was originally formed as Camden Chapel in 1796 by eighteen trustees of the Countess of Huntingdon's Connexion, a religious group who had seceded from the parish church of Saint Giles. They each provided £100 to meet the cost of the chapel, which became a district church in 1844. It was badly damaged by bombing in October 1940 and August 1944 and was evetually demolished in 1956.
Camden Church School was established around 1840 from the Sunday school run by Camden Church. Following the demolition of the church building, responsibility for the school was undertaken by the parish of St Luke, Peckham.
