CONTEXT
Administrative/Biographical history:
The parish of Saint Peter, Vauxhall was created from part of the district chapelry of Saint Mary-the-Less in 1861. The church, which was designed by John Loughborough Pearson, was consecrated on 28 June 1864. Saint Paul's Chapel, Miller Lane (now Saint Oswald's Place) was used as a temporary church for the district whilst the church of Saint Peter was being built. In 1983 the parish became part of North Lambeth Parish.
For a description of the design and building of the church and a discussion of the Reverend Robert Gregory's social experiment in the provision of schools, including an art school, and a soup kitchen and orphanage connected to the church see pp 64-78 and 259-60 of the monograph John Loughborough Pearson by Anthony Quiney (Yale UP, 1979).
