GB 0074 P97/MGT 1858-1968 Collection 2.89 linear metres Parish of St Margaret, Plumstead , Church of England

Until the mid 19th century Saint Nicholas (P97/NIC) was the parish church of Plumstead. On 25 April 1859 the newly built Saint Margaret's was consecrated, and from around May 1859 to around November 1860 baptisms and marriages appear to have taken place in both churches. In 1864 Saint Nicholas became a District Church, and Saint Margaret the parish church of Plumstead. In 1966 decay of the church fabric caused Saint Margaret's to be closed and demolished; services were moved to Saint Mark's (P97/MRK). The two parishes were merged to form the parish of Saint Mark and Saint Margaret, Plumstead.

The records of Saint Nicholas were transferred to Saint Margaret's c.1859-1860, as from "old" to "new" parish churches elsewhere. The Vicar of Saint Margaret Plumstead, though having no burial ground at Saint Margaret's, became responsible for the churchyard by Saint Nicholas, and the burial registers of this ground were kept by him. Though some of the entries c.1897-1928 relate to burials in family graves at Saint Nicholas, it is not certain that all relate to burials there; they may possibly refer to other Plumstead cemeteries. Some may perhaps record funeral services held at Saint Margaret's.

It is advisable therefore to consult the records of Saint Nicholas and of Saint Margaret in conjunction with each other.
