About this book
A Cen tury of Christian Service: Kensington Congregational Church,1793-1893
Of the Kensington of 1793 I need not say much; formost of those who read this little book will be quite familiar with theastonishing change that has come over this locality since then. We like to recall the fields and woodsthrough which the first seat-holders of Hornton Street Chapel walked to worshipon the Sunday, even though the thought suggests melancholy reflections on ourown loss in this respect. We are morecontent to have a century of time between ourselves and the footpads whoinfested the road that led to London. Itappears that in 1820, when Mr. Faulkner was completing his history, a newchurch had been erected in Marylebone; and we are congratulated on the fact,because the joint parishes of Kensington and Paddington contain as many as twelvethousand people! And as for some yearsprevious the great increase in the population had been causing considerableanxiety, and even alarm, we may easily estimate the paucity of the populationof Kensington in 1793.
