St Paul's Church was designed by John Walters and built by R. Streather in 1820. The church replaced a chapel which was built in 1656. The church was home to one of the most prolific American presidents, Thomas Jefferson, and his mother. The 17th century saw the district of Stepney become the port of call for many marine-based industries. St Paul's became more affectionately known as 'the sea captain's church' as an estimated 75 ship's captains were buried in the churchyard - one of which was Captain Cook's son.
