History
Saint Martin's Church, Kentish Town, was consecrated in December 1865. The church contains a memorial to its patron and founder John Derby Allcroft of Stokesay Court, Shropshire who endowed the church at his sole cost. A Freemason and leading evangelical churchman, he was treasurer of Christ's Hospital, the Corporation of the Sons of the Clergy and the Royal Hospital for Incurables. As well as Saint Martin's he also endowed two other London churches. His architect was Edward Buckton Lamb. In 1953 the church of Saint Andrew, Haverstock Hill (P90/AND) was united with Saint Martin's.
