Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

The parish of Saint Andrew, Thornhill Square, Barnsbury, was established in 1854 from parts of the parishes of Holy Trinity and All Saints. The site of the church was donated by George Thornhill. The building was constructed in 1852 to 1854, designed by F.B. Newman and John Johnson. Parts of the parish were assigned to Saint Thomas, Barnsbury, and Saint Michael, although the latter was later restored. The church ran a mission hall in Giford Street between 1882 and 1952. Open air services were also held. In 1953 the parish was united with Saint Thomas, Barnsbury, with Saint Matthias in 1956, and with Holy Trinity in 1980.
