Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

During the 1880s Alperton was served by missions from Saint John the Evangelist, Wembley. In 1890 the vicar, who had long deplored the 'careless state' of many in the village, persuaded WR Lane, a wandering missionary, to set up his tent in Alperton. It was replaced in 1893 by a mission room and in 1896 by a corrugated iron church, which was administered by the vicar of Wembley and a curate until a separate parish, Saint James, Alperton, was created in 1904. A church built by WA Pite in the Gothic style, was consecrated in Stanley Avenue in 1912. It was of yellow stock brick with red brick and stone dressings, and consisted of nave, chancel, aisles, south transept, north east chapel, north west baptistry, narthex and bell turret. In 1990 it was replaced by a new church built by Tony Rowse of the KC White Partnership.
