Bow Mission history
The Bow Mission, or Bow Road Methodist Church, has a long history which goes back to its founding by the Wesleyan Methodist Conference of 1860 which appointed Revd Alexander MaCaulay to the Bow area later that same year.
The following rare film footage was taken between 1935-39 and represents the work of the Mission in the years before the church was destroyed by Luftwaffe bombing in 1941.
