History
The church of Saint Stephen was constructed between 1859 and 1861 in response to the increasing number of residents in this area. The church was designed by John Barnett in a Gothic style; it seated 1,200. A parish was assigned in 1861, taken from the parish of Saint Michael's, Stockwell; while a nearby primary school was transferred to the parish in 1862.
