The parish of Saint Stephen was created from All Saints, Clapham Park, Saint James, Park Hill, Clapham Park and Saint Mary, Balham High Road. Sir James Knowles, architect, would not allow his daughter to marry Reverend George Eastman and so she decided to build him a church to her father's design and to leave him her fortune. The church in the Gothic style was consecrated 22 June 1867. In circa 1881 a number of Evangelists left the congregation of Saint Mary's, Balham as they objected to the High Church innovation there. They founded the iron church, Saint Paul, Balham. On Reverend Eastman's retirement they purchased Saint Stephen's and the congregation moved there. The church suffered slight war damage and was restored and redecorated in 1954.

By 1970 the church was in a poor state of repair and so was demolished when the area was redeveloped. A modern church was built on approximately the same site in 1974.
