Despite much opposition, the congregation grew rapidly and on 24th June 1881 a temporary iron church was dedicated, holding 200.
=== Civil Registration  ===


The present site was acquired in 1880 and, after much fundraising by Eton, the Parish Hall was opened in May 1884 and the new “Iron Church” was dedicated the following month. Fundraising continued and the Foundation Stone of the present building was laid on 7th June 1890 by Princess Christian, the third daughter of Queen Victoria. The architect was George Bodley, a former pupil of Sir Gilbert Scott. Two years and over £12,000 later the church was dedicated on 18th June 1892 and by an Order of Council of 26th August 1893 the new Parish of St. Mary of Eton was created.  
Birth, marriages and deaths were kept by the government, from July 1837 to the present day.<br>
