Description	In July 1892 a group of lay people petitioned the Archbishop of Westminster to give them their own parish, church and priest. On August 31st, 1893 a meeting was held at Hornsey Rise to consider the feasibility of starting a mission. The mission was made over to the Canons Regular of the Lateran. The Parish of St Peter-in-Chains initially began in what is now the Priests House, and the first Mass was said there in 1894. Fr Belton was the founding priest, and the First Prior was Fr Augustine White. The Lady chapel of the church was built first in 1886 and the church was originally called St Augustine's. The final church, designed by Canon Scoles, was opened on Tuesday October 21st 1902, and the main features of the sanctuary were completed by 1908.
