N/C/44 1905-1950 Collection 0.05 linear metres Congregational Church of England and Wales

Victoria Park Congregational Church was registered in 1865 at an iron chapel opened in 1864. A new building was constructed at the south-west junction of Approach and Bonner Roads, seating 2,000, in 1869. The church had the highest Congregational attendance in Bethnal Green in 1886, when 885 attended morning service and 953 attended in the evening, and in 1903, when 412 attended in the morning and 625 in the evening. The Church life was vigorous, including Sunday schools at Victoria Hall and Twig Folly, free concerts, and work among poor, missions, and ragged schools. Labour leader Benjamin Tillett (d. 1943), was librarian in the 1880s. The building was damaged in 1940 and closed in 1953. The site was acquired by neighbouring Parmiter's school.
