CONTEXT

Administrative/Biographical history:

Southwark had a long history as a centre for non-conformity. In 1672 five independent and Presbyterian chapels were located in Southwark, as well as Quaker and Anabaptist meeting-houses.

The Presbyterian chapel on Prospect Place appears to have closed or merged with another church. By 1893 there is no mention of the church in 'The Southwark Annual', which lists only two Presbyterian chapels in Southwark: that on Borough Road and Southwark Park Road, Bermondsey.
