A short history of NW5

Camden Town lay within the manor of Kentish Town, which Charles Pratt gained through marriage. He began granting house leases there in 1791 and the area later took its name from his title as Earl Camden. The Regent's Canal was built through it in 1816, the railway terminus arrived in 1837 and the Roundhouse followed in 1846. Mission work began in 1877. The Church of St Silas the Martyr, designed by Ernest Charles Shearman, was consecrated in 1912.
