Church
Church in Tolmers Square, 1903
Kia ora and greetings from New Zealand,
I have accidentally come across this photo and can identify it for you. Reverend John Guthrie (b1814) was expelled (along with 4 others) from the United Presbyterian Church in 1843 and established the Evangelical Union or (EU) also known as the Morisonians after one of the founders, Rev J Morison. In 1861, he moved with his family from Glasgow to London to establish a new church in Tolmers Square
‘...built a fine stone church, with a spire, in Tolmers Square, Tottenham Court Road, and was so energetic in raising money for it, that it was entered debt free in 1862.’ (P.245)
Written by his daughter, Hannah Guthrie Hay (1901), Annandale Past and Present 1889-1900, Christchurch, New Zealand
