Histórico
The district of Saint Matthew Upper Clapton was constituted on 19 May 1866 and a temporary Iron Church was opened on 1 August 1866. The foundation stone of the permanent church was laid on 21 September 1867, and the church, the architect of which was Francis Dollman, was consecrated on 5 April 1869. This church, which was situated in Warwick Grove, was declared redundant in January 1977 after being badly damaged by fire and the Church Hall next door, which opens into Mount Pleasant Lane, was converted into a church. In 1972 the parish entered into a group ministry with Saint Thomas, Clapton Common (P79/MTW) and Saint Michael and All Angels, Stoke Newington Common (P94/MAA). After the fire of 1977 the parish became a plurality with Saint Thomas Clapton Common, keeping its own Parochial Church Council and registers but sharing a vicar. Then in 1983 a priest-in-charge was appointed to the parish.
There were two mission chapels in the parish: Holy Trinity Chapel, Lea Bridge, built in 1877 and the Mission of the Good Shepherd, High Hill Ferry built circa 1879.
