The vicarage house stood in Upper Street near the later site of Theberton Street, and a new house was built in its grounds, probably in the late 17th century; the two were known as the vicarage house and the parsonage house in 1755, when the latter was let on a long lease. (fn. 68) The vicarage house was a boarding school in 1754. (fn. 69) The vicar did not live there in 1810, (fn. 70) and Daniel Wilson and his son lived at no. 8 Barnsbury Park.
The vicars who succeeded Dr. Strahan in 1824 ministered to an expanding population, which led to the foundation of c. 40 district churches, and presided over a rural deanery which became as large as some dioceses.
Despite the nine new churches opened between 1828 and 1850, the rapid growth in house building meant that by 1851 there were 16,548 Anglican sittings for a population of 95,329. Only about a third of the seats were free and non of the churches was in a style likely to attract the poor. (fn. 24) Soon afterwards the Islington Churches Extension Society was formed to provide more buildings and clergy. It appealed for 10 new churches within 10 years, each with accommodation for 1,000, and founded St. Luke's, West Holloway, in 1855. (fn. 25) Churches opened regularly thereafter, between five and ten in each decade, until the last, St. Andrew's, Whitehall Park, opened in 1895. They still catered mainly for middle-class inhabitants, however, leaving the missions to attract the working class. By the end of the century the Evangelical impetus had worn itself out and the Church of England had lost ground to nonconformity, particularly because of Islington's changing social composition. In 1851 Anglican services had three-fifths of all church attendances, double those at nonconformist churches; in 1903 fewer than two-fifths of worshippers were Anglicans, whereas more than half were nonconformists. (fn. 26) Anglican churches c. 1900 were active where they had middle-class congregations, mainly in the northern half of the parish, but were largely empty in the southern half, their successful work being in the day and Sunday schools. The decline had also troubled nonconformist churches in the south part and was attributed less to the type of services than to the replacement of middle-class residents, especially shopkeepers, by workers who did not go to church. The successful churches farther north attracted congregations with bright, varied services and a range of social activities which irritated purist Evangelical clergymen by their ritualism, secularism, and pleasure-seeking. (fn. 27) Decline in attendance continued in the 20th century as population changes continued. The Second World War removed several churches and others were amalgamated after the war and in the 1970s. In 1982 only 20 remained in full use for Anglican worship.
The new church, which seated 1,500 in 1851, (fn. 38a) had above the altar a painting by Nathaniel Clarkson, who lived in Church Street. (fn. 39a) The picture made way for a stained glass window when a chancel was added in 1902-4; a colonnade at the west porch was also added and the interior extensively altered by Sir. A. W. Blomfield. The church was bombed in 1940. Everything except the tower was rebuilt in 1954-6 on the 18thcentury plan in an adapted Georgian style by Seely & Paget, with the addition of transepts at the east end, within which the sanctuary is marked with slender pillars, the choir and organ being placed behind the congregation. The font, two brasses of the Fowler family, the lectern eagle, and the coat of arms of George II are from the previous church and the organ is from the demolished church of St. Mary, Bourdon Street, Berkeley Square.
