Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

The parish of Saint Simon Zelotes was formed in 1844, taken from parts of the parishes of Saint John and Saint James the Less. The church was constructed between 1840 and 1847, designed by B. Ferrey in a Gothic style. It seated 933. The church was damaged by bombing in 1943 and 1944 and was later demolished. The parish was united with Saint Anthony, Stepney, in 1936; and in 1971 united with Saint John, Bethnal Green (P72/JN).
