Summary "The Church Index" by Rev. William Pepperell is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work presents a comprehensive overview of the churches located in the Kensington parish, detailing both established and nonconforming congregations. The book likely aims to serve as a lasting reference for individuals interested in the ecclesiastical, architectural, and social aspects of these churches, providing significant historical context and insight into their development. The opening of the text sets the stage for a detailed exploration of various churches in Kensington, highlighting the necessity of documenting their histories as a reflection of the growing influence of church communities in a rapidly expanding urban area. Pepperell emphasizes the historical significance of each church, referencing notable figures and events associated with them, such as the rebuilding of St. Mary Abbotts and the experiences of clergy members. He also outlines the diverse congregational activities and community contributions, as well as the architectural details of each church, signaling the importance of these institutions in shaping both spiritual and social life in Kensington.
