Parish History[edit | edit source]
A chapel which was built as part of the British Lying-in-Hospital, Endell Street Holborn, was founded in 1749 and closed in 1913. Close to 100,000 baptisms and births occurred during its operation. It was one of four lying-in hospitals established in Greater London in the mid-18th century.
