History
St Stephen's Church dates from 1856. It was designed by the architect brothers Frederick John and Horace Francis, who designed at least 20 other churches around London – only St Stephen's is believed to still be in existence. Many changes have been made to the church over the years, the most notable being the removal of a tall spire. The latter was removed following World War II when it was deemed unsafe.{{cite web| url = http://www.ststephens.london/about-us/history/| url-status = dead| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150801050915/http://www.ststephens.london/about-us/history/| archive-date = 2015-08-01| title = Our History}}
