St Michael's Church, Camden Town

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The main Anglican church for Camden Town, it was designed in brick by Bodley and Garner (their first London church). It is Grade II* listed. The nave was completed in 1881 and the whole church was consecrated in 1894. A tower was planned but never built. Its west front was restored in 2005 and the roof is to be repaired in 2007.

The congregation was begun in a building on the site where the local William Hill's now stands, where a service was carried out to begin celebrations for the church's 125th anniversary in 2002.[1] and [2]

It is linked to a C of E Primary School.

It is part of the St Pancras Team Ministry, with St Pancras Old Church, St Mary's Somers Town and St Paul's Church, Camden Square.

It has an active ministry to the homeless and refugees in the area, regularly speaks out on social issues in the area [3], featured in the BBC series The Power and the Glory and hosted the launch of the new Faith in the City report [4] and [5].
