Brook Street Chapel
Brook Street Chapel is a church building in Tottenham, North London. The building was constructed for use as a meeting place for local Christians affiliated with the Plymouth Brethren movement.
==History==
A group of around eight individuals who had seceded from the Quakers met in the house of a Mrs Sands in Stoney South〔(British History Online )〕 (now Stoneleigh Road) from 1838, and the Brooks Street Meeting House was constructed and opened in 1839.〔(Street Chapel website )〕 Prominent amongst the original members were the chemist John Eliot Howard and his brother Robert, and some funding was also provided by their father, the meteorologist Luke Howard, who moved to Tottenham shortly after.〔("Malaria chemist's legacy celebrated outside his former home" ). ''Haringey Independent'', 3 August 2010〕 The Howards are commemorated in Tottenham by a blue plaque to Luke at 7, Bruce Grove,〔(Open Plaque #190 )〕 and a green plaque to John on the site of his home, Lord's Meade (now Lordship Lane).
As the population of Tottenham grew throughout the nineteenth century, the assembly of Christians also grew rapidly to around 88 by 1842〔(Precious Seed magazine )〕 and around 140 in 1851.〔 Work with local children was a major concern, with a Sunday School of an estimated 600 children at the turn of the twentieth century.〔 The Meeting House, now known as Brook Street Chapel was given over entirely for children's work, and all other assembly meetings were held between 1880 and 1903 in lecture rooms on the opposite side of the High Road.〔
The Chapel building was extended in 1939 and again in 1955 to include a schoolroom and a rear hall for youth work.〔 The building in its present state occupies the whole of Brook Street, after World War II bombing destroyed the houses in the further part of the road.
