    The building was built in Jan 1889 (according to the plaque/imprint on the side of the building) although it was orginal called "Crouch Hill chapel".<br><br>According to Wiki the Church was "<span style="color: rgb(37, 37, 37); font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 22.4px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">established in 1878 and registered as Crouch Hill Chapel by Particular Baptists in 1884"<br><br>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Stroud_Green<br></span><br>The church building was converted around 1989/90...So I think the church was renamed "Stroud Green Baptist Church" then?<br><br><br><br><br>

    Thanks, @nev - I read the Wiki entry, but didn't know about the plaque on the building. That's conclusive enough for me!
