Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

Saint Paul's, Winchmore Hill, was constructed in 1828 as a chapel of ease to Edmonton parish church. It became a district chapelry in 1851. The church building was designed by John Davies and erected in 1828, in a Gothic style. Repairs were necessary in 1844 after thieves set fire to the building; and enlargements were carried out in 1888 and 1928. A parish hall was added in 1905.
