St Mary Matfelon

The St Mary Matfelon church, popularly known as St Mary's, Whitechapel, was a Church of England parish church on Whitechapel Road, Whitechapel, London.

For more than 600 years a Christian church stood on the site of Adler Street, White Church Lane and Whitechapel High Street, London E1. The original church known as the Whitechapel Church, St Mary Matfelon was the second-oldest church in Stepney after St Dunstan's Church. It was created as a chapel-of-ease for the local area in the 13th century. In 1673, the parish of Stepney was divided into nine separate parishes, one of them being the newly formed parish of St Mary's, Whitechapel. A third church was built on the site in the 19th century, largely at the expense of Octavius Coope; it was opened and re-consecrated on 2 February 1877.
