Variously called 'Ague Town' or 'Hagar Town', Agar Town was infamous for being a slum without water supply or proper drainage. A report in 1847 stated that about 5,000 people lived in Agar Town; there was no school, church or chapel other than the Old Saint Pancras church which was in the process of being restored. A temporary iron church was therefore erected in Agar Town, together with a Ragged School. Building of a permanent church began in 1859, under the supervision of S.S. Teulon, but it was never completed. The Agar Town church, named Saint Thomas, was sited in Wrotham Road in 1863. It has now been demolished, and the parish united to Saint Michael, Camden Road.
