History
The church of Saint Silas originated as an iron mission church established by the vicar of Saint James, Pentonville. A permanent church was constructed between 1860 and 1863. An initial dedication to Christ Church was changed to Saint Silas at the consecration in 1867. At one time the church shared an administration with the All Saints Mission Chapel on White Lion Street, and was notorious for promoting Anglo-Catholicism.
