Parish of St Mary Magdalene, St Pancras , Church of England

The church of Saint Mary Magdalene, Munster Square was founded by the Reverend Edward Stuart, a curate of Christ Church, Albany Street. Its architect was Richard Cromwell Carpenter (1813-1855) who had previously designed two Brighton churches. Built in the decorated gothic style, it was described by the Ecclesiologist in 1852 as 'the most artistically correct new church yet consecrated in London'. Consecrated on 22 April 1852, and with baptism and marriage registers commencing in that year, it served a small but densely populated area formerly belonging to the parish of Christ Church, Albany Street (P90/CTC2). The two parishes were once again united with the closure of Christ Church in 1989.
