History
editThe church was built from 1911 to 1913, and designed by the architect Ernest Charles Shearman.[1] The Church of St Silas replaced an earlier mission church.[1] The building was funded through a £7,000 donation in the will of Henry Howard Paul, a wealthy American who had spent most of his career in the United Kingdom.[2] The church was consecrated on 26 October 1912 by Arthur Winnington-Ingram, the then Bishop of London.[2]
On 10 June 1954, the church was designated a grade II* listed building.[1]
