Biographical history
West Hackney Church was built between 1821-1824 by Sir Robert Smirke. He was an ardent advocate of the Greek clasical revival in architecture and this building is of white Suffolk brick with stone dressings in a Greek Doric style. The church was sometimes called Saint James. The churchyard to the east closed for burials in 1879. It survived as a public garden with gravestones against the wall. West Hackney church was destroyed by enemy action in 1940. This may explain why gaps occur in the sequences of registers at LMA. Services continued to be held in the parish hall for a time, until the parish was amalgamated with St Barnabas, Shacklewell, West Hackney, Hackney in 1955.
