Christ Church, Lambeth

Christ Church, Lambeth

Christ Church, Lambeth, was founded by the Rev Dr Christopher Newman Hall in the 1870s as a Congregational chapel forming part of a complex of new mission buildings, including the Lincoln Tower and a new premises for Hawkstone Hall. On Newman Hall's retirement, it passed to F.B.Meyer.

Christopher Newman Hall's Christ Church took its congregation largely from his previous chapel, the famous independent Methodist and Congregational Surrey Chapel that had been founded by the Rev. Rowland Hill and continued by Rev James Sherman.
