Holy Trinity Gough Square [1]was a Victorian parish church in the City of London built in response to St Bride, Fleet Street’s need[2] for a sister church to serve its growing population[3]. Situated in Pemberton Row[4] the social reformer Charles Booth noted it served the area’s poorer citizens [5]. As the century wore on legislation was passed to reduce the number of City churches and after a short, but worthy, existence[6] the then Bishop of London authorised the reunification of the two parishes[7], the proceeds from the sale going towards the building of St Mellitus, Hanwell[8].
