LMA/4336 1874-1953 Collection 1 linear meter Presbyterian Church of England

The Regent Square Presbyterian Church (see LMA/4147) first started a mission in the Somers Town and Saint Pancras area in 1843, using a variety of buildings to host their meetings. In 1874 Goldington Crescent Church, near Mornington Crescent, was purchased as a permanent building and the name Goldington Crescent Presbyterian Church was adopted. By 1881 the congregation had outgrown this building and subsequently raised the funds to build a new, larger church and hall on Ossulston Street, Somers Town, designed by architect George Lethbridge. The new church was opened in 1882 and the church was renamed Somers Town Presbyterian Church. The church does not appear in the Presbyterian Church Official Handbook for 1971 and is likely to have closed before this date.

Deposited by the United Reformed Church (URC) History Society in 2001 (B01/024).
