N/C/40 1831-1907 Collection 1.3 linear metres Congregational Church of England and Wales

The Wycliffe Congregational Church, Stepney, was founded in 1642 on Philpot Street.

Christ Church Congregational Church, Cranbrook Road, started in an iron building in 1895, mainly through the work of Robert Pettigrew. It was formally constituted in 1896. In 1906 it was joined by the members of Wycliffe Congregational Church, Stepney. Christ Church had changed its name to Wycliffe in 1904, in anticipation of this union. The Stepney church was sold, and in 1907 the united congregation built a new Wycliffe on the Ilford site.
