response to the rapid growth of the local population. The Rector, the Rev.
Thomas Jackson, offered the site of the old rectory and garden for a new church
to be built opposite the 300 year-old Old Church.
The architect George Gilbert Scott (later knighted) was
appointed to the project, and designed a building in the
style of thirteenth century Gothic. The new St. Mary's
was consecrated by the Lord Bishop of London on June
25, 1858: it stretches 180 feet (55m) from the inside
line of the apse to the west door, and is 80 feet (25m)
wide from north to south transept.
The original plan foresaw a spire soaring 220 feet
(65m), but it was to be 45 years before this was finally
added to the building. Floodlighting was added at
Easter 1996.

 | England London Stoke Newington Stoke Newington Church Street tiny Tudor church gate lantern 1 DHD.jpg (Earth Views) There has been a site of Christian worship on the site of the "old" parish
church since at least 1086---and probably even before then. The first recorded
Rector was appointed in 1314 to a Church which included a chapel dedicated to
St Thomas Becket and a rood known to have been in a poor state of repair by the
fifteenth century.
Sir William Patten, Lord of the Manor, built the present ``Old'' Church,
bordering Clissold Park on the north side of Church Street, in 1563. It is the
only church of the Elizabethan period left in London, and one of only a few in
the entire country. It is also one of the very earliest Anglican Churches which
has never been a Roman Catholic Church.
There have been many additions to the building, notably the Victorian box pews
and the spire, placed on top of the ancient square tower by the notable
architect Sir Charles Barry.
