Parish History
The Imperial Gazetteer of England & Wales 1870
CATHERINE (St.), one of the tower hamlets in London; on the Thames, immediately below the Tower. Most of it was destroyed in 1828, to give place to the St. Catherine docks.
A church and an hospital were founded at it, in 1148, by Queen Maud; refounded by Queen Eleanor; and enlarged by Queen Philippa. The church was rebuilt by Henry VI.; claimed at the Reformation, as Queen’s property, by Anne Boleyn; and used by the inhabitants till 1825.
A new church and hospital, in lieu of the demolished ones, were erected by the Dock company in the Regent’s park. The docks occupy a space of 24 acres; and were formed at a cost of £195,640 per acre. Upwards of 1,200 houses were demolished, to clear the site. Pop. of the hamlet in 1801, 2,652; in 1831, 72.
