Biographical history
Trinity Presbyterian Church began after a report by the Presbyterian district visitor for Hampstead that Scottish inhabitants needed a preaching station, 1844. The London Presbytery suggested that a meeting be formed to rent premises. Eight men, including 5 gardeners, rented Temperance Hall in Perrin's Court, recognized as a preaching station. By the end of 1845 the average attendance was 130 in the morning and 80 in the evening. A permament pastor was appointed in 1846. The congregation moved to Well Walk Chapel in 1853, however, the building was dilapidated, so a site at 2 High Street, on the corner of Willoughby Road, was bought in 1861. The new church opened in 1862. It was demolished in 1962 and the members joined Saint Andrew's Presbyterian church, Finchley Road. Shops were built on the site and the hall was converted into Trinity Close.
The Church ran a mission in Perrin's Court, started between 1864 and 1869, including a ragged school. Cottage meetings were held at New End from 1869, and open-air services were held in brickfields and Branch Hill Square. Another mission was formed at Dickinson Street Hall, Kentish Town in 1888, which later moved to 73 Carlton Street.
