Context
Administrative/Biographical history:
These documents and newspaper cuttings belonged to, or relate to Canon John Otter Stephens. After a curacy at Belgrave, Leicestershire, in 1858, he became Vicar of Savernake, Wiltshire, in 1861, of Blankney, Lincolnshire, in 1879 and of All Saints, Tooting, 1903-1912. Made an honorary Canon of Southwark Cathedral in 1914, he died in 1925, aged 93.
In 1901 when Lady Charles Brudenell-Bruce died, she left money in trust for the creation of a new district and church in memory of her husband, Lord Charles Brudenell-Bruce. A tent church, established at Tooting in 1903 was succeeded by an iron church, and the consecration of All Saints took place in 1906.
