There are records as far back as the early C13th which show that St Dionis Backchurch stood on the corner of Fenchurch street and Lime Street. The present church building, in Parsons Green, was consecrated on 19th July 1885 by the Bishop of London. 11 years later the tower was completed. The transfer of the ornate font cover designed by Martin Travers and finely carved pulpit possibly the work of Grinling Gibbons are testament in the ‘new’ church building of its previous existence in the city. The area had already been served by the patronage of Charlotte Sulivan, who was concerned that the inhabitants of Parsons Green should enjoy facilities for worship. Accordingly, the Mission Hall, which stands on the opposite corner of St Dionis Rd, was completed in 1876, and was consecrated by the Bishop of London for the administration of sacraments.
