Biographical history
In 1872 Canon Erskine Clarke, vicar of Saint Mary, Battersea felt that there was an "urgent need for a school for young children and for some place in which meetings for worship can be held and it is hoped that an Iron Building will be put up in or near Chatham Road". Philip Cazenove bought the land and on 8 August 1872 the Iron School House opened in which Sunday evening services were held by the Reverend Henry Verdon for seven years.
On his death and that of Philip Cazenove in 1880, Canon Erskine Clarke proposed the building of Saint Michael's Church as a joint memorial to the two men. The architect W. White was commissioned to provide a church to seat about 750 people. The memorial stones were laid by the Archbishop of Canterbury on 1 June 1881. The Church was dedicated on 10 September by the Bishop of Rochester and consecrated on 24 August 1883. A year later a separate parish was created and the first vicar of Saint Michael's instituted on 15 December 1884.
