GB 0074 P95/MGT 1910-1991 Collection 1.95 linear metres Parish of St Margaret, Putney , Church of England

The church of Saint Margaret, Putney started life as a private Baptist Chapel, known as Granard Chapel, built in the grounds of Granard Lodge by Colonel Croll. It was subsequently used as a Presbyterian chapel until 1898 when the Presbyterian congregation moved to a new church at the corner of Briar Walk.

In 1910, Seth Taylor, who had acquired Granard Lodge, offered the chapel to the vicar of Putney and promised to make annual contributions towards the stipend of the Curate-in-Charge. The church was consecrated 5 October 1912 and dedicated to Saint Margaret.

After the First World War the London County Council purchased Dover House. The new estate increased the population very rapidly from 1,200 to nearly 10,000, and it was felt necessary to enlarge the church of Saint Margaret and constitute it as a separate parish. By 11 October 1923 the formalities were completed and Mr Wallis was instituted as the first vicar, 19 February 1924. The foundation stone of the enlarged church was laid in October 1925 and the extension consecrated in February 1926. A vicarage was bought and four years later a church hall was built in the Pleasance.

Records deposited in October 1983 with further accessions in September 1987, December 1991 and March 1999.
