Geschiedenis
An iron church, seating 350, served by an assistant curate from Saint James, opened in 1868 in Walsingham Road. A site for a permanent church on the south corner of Kenninghall Road was acquired from Charles Jacomb in 1866 and conveyed to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners in 1870. The foundation stone of the new church was laid on 30th August 1870. It was consecrated by John Jackson, Bishop of London on 6th May 1871. A district was assigned from parts of the parishes of West Hackney and Saint James in 1871.
Christ Church was destroyed by enemy action in 1944. Services thereafter were held either in the parish hall or in Saint James' church. The parish was united with Saint James the Great, Clapton in June 1953, Saint James becoming the parish church of Saint James with Christ Church, Clapton.
