History
The church of Saint Matthew on Oakley Crescent, off City Road, Islington, was founded circa 1848. The church was severely damaged by bombing in 1940. Marriages from 1941 to 1952 were solemnized at Saint Luke, Old Street. The last marriage register was closed in February 1953 on the union of the parish with Saint Barnabas, King Square and Saint Clement, City Road.
