Geschiedenis
In 1627 John Marshall, a gentleman of Axe Yard, Southwark, left property in trust for various charities, including the erection of a new church, to be called Christ Church, in Saint Saviour's Parish in which the population had increased significantly. No action was taken until 1663 when the trustees began to consider the bequest. William Angell, lord of the manor of Paris Garden, donated some land, and in 1671 the church was constructed and a new parish was formed from the manor. It was necessary to rebuild the church in 1738-1741 as the marshy ground was damaging the foundations. Further restorations took place in 1870 and 1890. In 1941 the church was gutted by an incendiary bomb; and in 1956 the parish was amalgamated with that of the church of Saint James. A new church was constructed in 1959.
