Background
History
The church was built between 1851 and 1853 by Thomas Cundy (junior). In the period 1840–60, Pimlico was a rapidly expanding residential area and the Marquess of Westminster, the major local landowner, granted £5,000 and the freehold of a plot at the south-western end of Warwick Square for a church. The vestry was added in 1887-8 by James Piers St Aubyn.
Description
Immediately following all this work came a period of improvements in the chancel, funded in the main by Lord Edward Pelham-Clinton.
