        History

        The parish of Saint Mary Magdalene, Paddington was created from the parishes of Saint Saviour, Warwick Avenue (P87/SAV) and Holy Trinity, Bishop's Bridge Road (P87/TRI). Services were first held in 1865 in a small temporary church on the banks of the Grand Junction Canal. The permanent church was designed by George Edmund Street. The foundation stone was laid in 1867, the nave and chancel opened in 1868 and the completed church was consecrated in 1878.

        The Saint Mary Magdalene Convalescent Home was a home for fallen women, but not for those "abandoned to an immoral life". It opened in 1865 at 30 Weymouth Street. It later moved to 26 Ranelagh road, Paddington. Single women under the age of thirty were admitted before and after the birth of their first child which would have taken place at Queen Charlotte's Hospital. It was managed by the Sisters of Saint Mary, Wantage.
