St Peter's Vere Street

Categories: Religion

Founded by Edward Harley and designed by James Gibbs. Once known as the Marylebone Chapel, it was originally intended as a chapel of ease to supplement the parish church for the growing parish of Marylebone. It has since been deconsecrated and now houses the London Institute for Contemporary Christianity.
