Built by William Woods and Revd James Curry and Edward Carlisle to serve Downshire Hill estate, completed 1823. Probably originally intended as chapel of ease to par. ch., hence dedication. (fn. 99) Revd. John Curry offered to pay for bldg. and site if appointed min., so chapel became proprietary and in 1982 was last remaining in Lond. (fn. 1) Not consecrated. Chapel bought 1832 by Revd. John Wilcox who established evangelical ministry. 'Hampstead: Churches', A History of the County of Middlesex: Volume 9: Hampstead, Paddington (1989), pp. 145-52.
