This large neo-classical building at the corner of Tollington Park and Fonthill Road was originally the New Court Congregational Church, designed by C G Searle and opened in 1871. For more about it, try https://taking-stock.org.uk/building/tollington-park-st-mellitus/ . From Wikipedia I learn that "Mellitus (died 24 April 624) was the first Bishop of London in the Saxon period, the third Archbishop of Canterbury, and a member of the Gregorian mission sent to England to convert the Anglo-Saxons." https://taking-stock.org.uk/building/tollington-park-st-mellitus/
