        History

        Poplar Chapel was founded by the East India Company as a chapel of ease to Saint Dunstan, Stepney (P93/DUN). In 1823 the new church of All Saints, Poplar (P88/ALL1) was consecrated and became a parish church for Poplar. The records of Poplar Chapel were transferred to All Saints' Church. The chapel remained in use and in 1867 it was consecrated as Saint Matthias Poplar and was given a parish.

        Saint Matthias' Church was declared redundant in October 1977 and the parish was united with the Parish of Poplar.
