Saint Thomas' Church, Stamford Hill, later known as Saint Thomas' Church, Clapton Common was originally called Stamford Hill Chapel and was a proprietary chapel built circa 1774 by Mr John Devall as a place of worship for his tenants. It was later bought by the Revd. George Richards who sold it in 1827 to Joshua Watson and three others to be a Chapel of Ease to the parish church of Hackney. The chapel was enlarged and a tower added and it was consecrated on 22 October 1827. A district was assigned to the chapel by an Order in Council of 28 February 1828, and it became a separate parish 29 July 1856. Extensive reconstruction was carried out in 1873. The body of the church was destroyed in the Second World War and rebuilt by N.F Cachemaille-Day. In 1972 Saint Thomas' became part of a group ministry with Saint Matthew, Upper Clapton and Saint Michael and All Angels, Stoke Newington Common.
