History

St Stephen's Church dates from 1856. It was designed by the architect brothers Frederick John and Horace Francis, who designed at least 20 other churches around London – only St Stephen's is believed to still be in existence. Many changes have been made to the church over the years, the most notable being the removal of a tall spire. The latter was removed following World War II when it was deemed unsafe. [2]

The church, both exterior and interior, appears in the 1954 Adelphi feature film The Crowded Day . [3]

Organ

The organ dates from 1866 by William Hill. There have been subsequent modifications by Hill, Norman and Beard. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register. [4] William Carter was organist-choirmaster at St Stephen's Church at the time that this organ was installed; serving in that position from 1860 through 1868. [5]
