Home > The Church > Monuments
The church contains two large monuments, located on either side of the chancel and about forty memorial tablets on the walls. Most of these are in the vestibule and on the west stairs; a small number in the crypt record burials there. The memorial tablets mainly commemorate the lives of rectors and parishioners of the church, but some were brought from nearby abandoned or destroyed churches and re-erected in Christ Church. The latter include the First World War memorial removed from St Stephen’s Spitalfields and the series of ten tablets that recorded the activity of the London Society for Promoting Christianity among the Jews which came from the Chapel in Palestine Place, Bethnal Green.
