Parish History

ST MARY-LE-BONE, a parish, in the Holborn division of the hundred of Ossulstone, county of Middlesex [built in 1668]. It comprises one of the largest populations of any parish in the whole country (see the link below to view a list of all the "District Churches and Chapels in Pre-1900 St Marylebone". It contained Cavendish, Manchester, and Portman Squares; Portland Place, Regent's Park, bounded by the Hampstead and Highgate hills; Stratford Place; Cumberland Place; Lisson Grove and St. John's Wood, on the west; Chapel of St. Katherine's Hospital located at Regent's Park, removed from its original site near The Tower, London. There are places of worship for Baptists, Independents, Wesleyans, Calvinistic Methodists, and Seceders from the Scottish Church; a chapel belonging to the Greek Church, a French, and a Spanish, Roman Catholic chapel and a Roman Catholic chapel in St. John's Wood.

Additional information:

St Barnabas, St Marylebone was a district Anglican church built as a church of ease, in order to ease the heavy population demands of the mother, or ancient parish of St Marylebone.

The church was consecrated in 1865. The church was badly damaged by bombing during World War II. From 1941 the parish was administered by the Rector of Christ Church, Cosway Street, with St John's Wood Chapel, who was based at St John's House. The reorganisation scheme for St Marylebone proposed that St Barnabas' Church should be closed and the parish united with Christ Church, Cosway Street. The scheme was ratified legally by Order in Council in March 1952, though it had been put into effect in practice by 1948.

Here's a list of District Churches and Chapels in Pre-1900 St Marylebone.
