St Peter's Wapping - Mission House

Inscription

St Peter's Mission House
Built 1883 - destroyed by enemy bomb 1940 - rebuilt 1950.
RIP Sister Catherine Elizabeth S.C. 15.10.40

Site: St Peter's London Docks (3 memorials)

E1, Wapping Lane

The WW2 plaque is very high up on the wall behind the arches and can only be read from a zoomed-in photo.

The naming is confusing. This religious setup originated from St George's-in-the-East and so was initially known as St George's Mission. But when they built their own church, St Peter's, the mission became St Peter's Mission.

This fine building was probably erected in 1928 replacing a previous building, which we bet didn't have a ball-court on the roof.

The wording of the Mayo plaque is a little strange.  In what way could research give the Leysdown tragedy to the Friends of the Cemetery?...
