Hoxton Market Christian Mission

Categories: Social Welfare

Founded by John and Lewis Burtt. Described by Charles Booth as a "soup kitchen and refuge for the poor". Janet Seale wrote to us in 2013: "I used to attend Sunday School at Hoxton Market Christian Mission - Miss Breach was the teacher in the very early sixties - anyone else have any memories of this time?"
