Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

Saint Stephen, Elthorne Road originated as a mission church in Elthorne Road founded by Saint John, Upper Holloway circa 1877. The District of Saint Stephen was formed in 1881 from Saint John, Upper Holloway and Saint Mary, Hornsey Rise. The Church of Saint Stephen was built in 1879-1880 designed by E. Christian and consecrated on 29 October 1880.

The substantial redevelopment of the area surrounding the church from 1966 slowly destroyed the congregation and in 1982 the church was closed and the parish united with that of Saint Mary, Hornsey Rise. The Church was demolished in 1983. The mission church, which had become the church hall in 1880, was demolished in the 1970's.
