Geschiedenis
In 1670 or 1680 the Reverend George Wheeler in 1670 or 1680 when he inherited the Wheeler estates and constructed a chapel to serve the people of Norton Folgate and the growing areas of Spitalfields and Mile End. The chapel was known as Sir George Wheeler's Chapel. It stood within the parish of Christ Church, Spitalfields (P93/CTC1). In 1845 the chapel became a parish church and was renamed Saint Mary Spital, after a medieval hospital which used to stand in this area. The parish was reunited with Christ Church in 1911.
