St Mary's is a vibrant London church on the northern edge of
Primrose Hill. It is widely known for its fine liturgy and music in
the Anglican tradition, its affirmation of women's ministry, and
its pioneering youthwork and social outreach. It was designed by MP
Manning and built by Dove Bros of Islington in two stages (1872 and
1892). This book celebrates the church's 150th anniversary. It
draws on previously untapped archives to chart the history of the
building and its worshipping community. The book is split into two
parts: 1872-1951 ranges from the church's origins in the Boys' Home
in Regent's Park Road to the period of recovery after the Second
World War. It is rich in stories: among them St Mary's part in the
Ritualist controversies of the Victorian church; the near collapse
of the building through railway tunnelling in the 1870s; the
striking innovations of Percy Dearmer (vicar 1901-1915); and the
desperate years of the Blitz in the 1940s. 1952-2022 draws also on
the personal memories of today's congregation, exploring how St
Mary's has become the beacon of hope it is today, and taking stock
of its particular place in Christian witness, now and for the
future.
