St Peter
Wapping Lane, Wapping. Designed by F H Pownall and begun in 1865-6 but not completed until the 1939, it was then badly damaged in the war and renovated in 1948-50. To the right of the entrance is the Clergy House and to the left the Sisters' House both completed in 1881. It originated as a mission from St George's in the East under Father Lowder, the first such mission to the poor in the East End. The Mission provided schools, a refuge for prostitutes, a hostel for homeless girls, night classes and parish clubs, an insurance scheme for dockers, coal for the poor and general poor relief.
