Church Walk
This was the path running between Newington Green and Stoke Newington for those who wished to attend the latter's old village church.
Easily overlooked, it now threads between shabby houses and back gardens but still retains a rustic character in its winding route.

Newington Green church
This Unitarian chapel was founded in 1708 and is the oldest nonconformist place of worship still used in London.
The banner on the right commemorates its most famous member, Mary Wollstonecraft, who, attracted by the dissenting community around the Green, came to live and briefly to run a school there, with her sisters and a friend, in the early 1780s.

Newington Green itself is a pleasant relaxing open space in North London, ringed by fine mature plane trees on all sides. A small cafe is sometimes open.

Newington Green, looking north
The green provided grazing for sheep and cattle for centuries until
"In 1742 the green, previously 'a most rude wilderness with large old trees' was railed in... In 1761 Newington Green was a 'pleasant village' consisting of a 'handsome square' surrounded by generally well built houses, with a row of trees on each side and an extensive grass plat in the centre... Among the inhabitants was Daniel Defoe (c. 1660-1731), who was educated at Morton's academy and in 1684 married a girl from Newington Green, where in 1692 he tried to raise civet cats." The civet cats, of which he had 70, provided musk which was used to make perfume. This enterprise, like many more of Defoe's, failed and the civets cats were seized in lieu of arrears.
