St Matthias Church is an Anglican church in Stoke Newington, England. It is named for St Matthias.
St Faith with St Matthias and All Saints
In 1873 two new parishes of Stoke Newington, All Saints and Stoke Newington, St Faith were carved out of the parishes of St Mary and St Matthias. All Saints church was in Aden Grove, replacing an earlier iron structure, in 1876. It was demolished in 1956. St Faith's church was built on Londesborough Road in 1873, badly damaged by bombing in 1944, and finally abandoned and demolished in 1949.
Many churches were severely damaged by bombs during World War II. Although St Matthias was eventually restored, the extent of the damage, combined with a decrease in the population of the area led to a number of parishes being combined in the 20th century. For instance, in 1951 St Faith and St Matthias parishes were merged. In 1956 they were again merged with All Saints to form Stoke Newington, St Faith with St Matthias and All Saints In 1974 the name of the combined parish was shortened to Stoke Newington, St Matthias.
Since 2006
