Historique
The parish of Saint Philip was formed in 1842, taken from part of the parish of Saint Matthew. The church was constructed in 1841-42, seating 1,100. The parish was the poorest in the area and the clergymen were concerned with poor relief: George Alstone declined fees for baptisms while his successor James Trevitt wrote in the press about local conditions. The church ran schools, societies and a library. In 1954 the parish was united with Saint Matthew (P72/MTW). The church building was used to store church furniture until demolition in 1966.
