Note
The Church of the Lady Margaret at Walworth was conceived as part of the College Mission in 1883, however, it was not until 1889 that a dedicated church building was constructed on Chatham Street and a parish assigned to it. A Parish Hall and Vicarage were added the following year. The decision was taken to close the Church in 1966, some time after St. John's College had ceased its official missionary association. The Church was declared redundant in 1983 and was leased by the Cherubim and Seraphim Church from 1986 onwards.
