Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

The church of Saint Jude was established in 1848. The inspirational clergyman Samuel Augustus Barnett worked there after asking the Bishop of London to assign him to the worst part of the diocese. The population of the area was considered to be mainly criminals. Barnett was instrumental in the passing of the Artisan's Dwelling Act of 1875. This allowed for slum clearance and the setting up of minimum standards of construction. He was also involved in the Children's Holiday Fund and the formation of the Youth Hostels Association. In 1923 the parish was united with that of Saint Mary Whitechapel (P93/MRY1).
