St. Matthew's Church
Key Details
Overview
St. Matthew's Church is an Anglican church in Bayswater, London W2.
The church, a Grade II* listed building in Victorian Gothic Revival style, was built by John Johnson II, financed by John Derby Allcroft of Stokesay Court Shropshire www.stokesaycourt.com, one of several London churches he also financed. It was completed in 1882, replacing an earlier church dating from 1818, and was built to house the huge congregation that flocked to hear the then incumbent, Archdeacon Hunter, who had recently returned from 23 years of missionary work with the Cree Indians of Northern Canada. Apart from the addition of the west gallery two years after its opening, it has remained largely unchanged since its original construction. At one stage it held seating for some 1400 people, although that is now slightly reduced.
