Historique
The Princes Street Presbyterian Chapel was founded when Thomas Cawton received a licence for Presbyterian meetings at his house in Saint Anne's Lane, Westminster, in 1672. A few months later he gained a licence for newly-built meeting-house in the nearby New Way, Westminster. Cawton was minister until 1677, succeeded by Vincent Alsop until 1703, and Doctor Edmund Calamy from 1703 to 1732. Alsop claimed he had been required to divide his congregation into two because of its size, administering communion to each group alternately. The congregation moved to a chapel in Princes Street, Westminster, in 1703, and to another in Princes Street in 1799. It closed 1818, and the congregation joined that of St Thomas's Street Chapel, in Southwark.
