Parish History[edit | edit source]
KENNINGTON, Verulam Chapel Walcot Place was originally erected as a Scottish Presbyterian Chapel, but according to Samuel A. Lewis, noted 19th century topographer, was by 1848, an Anglican ecclesiastical chapel and by 1850, one of a total of six which stood within the township district of Kennington. This chapelry, along with four others all lay within the boundary of the ancient parish and union of Lambeth St Mary's, east division of the hundred of Brixton, county of Surrey, 2½ miles (S. S. W.) from London. The five additional episcopal chapels in the district, were namely, Carlisle Chapel, originally an Independent chapel built about 1796 but later became an Anglican chapel in the early to mid-1840's; St Mark's Chapel, Upper Kennington Lane; St. James's, Clayton Place, and Kennington South St Barnabas All Saints. The Independents had two places of worship, and the Baptists and Wesleyans one each. [1]
