Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

The church of Saint Saviour, Aberdeen Park, was founded by the Reverend W.D. Morrice and built to designs by William White in 1866. The church was closed in 1980 and the parish was united with Christ Church, Highbury Grove; but efforts were made to preserve the building which is well regarded for its architectural style.
