The present St.John at Hackney was built in 1792 but St.Augustine's Tower is older. Philip Richard MARILLIER was baptised in the newly rebuilt church in 1793, his parents having married in the original church. Edward FORD and Jane MURRAY were also married in an earlier church on the site in 1756. Joseph DEARMAN married Benon POMMIER in this church in 1808, and John OATES married Betty KENT in 1815.The youngest three children of Thomas CLARKE of WILLSON's Party were baptised here, as was James EDWARDS (son of James and Ann EDWARDS)
