Christ Church, Lambeth, was founded by the Rev Dr Christopher Newman Hall in the 1870s as a Congregational chapel forming part of a complex of new mission buildings, including the Lincoln Tower and a new premises for Hawkstone Hall.

However, the original foundation stone of Christopher Newman Hall's Christ Church was salvaged after the destruction of the Second World War, and has been conveniently placed at the foot of the nearby Lincoln Memorial Tower on Westminster Bridge Road.
The pastor of Surrey Chapel at the time was the energetic Christopher Newman Hall who had lectured and written extensively in support of Abraham Lincoln and abolition of slavery during the American Civil War.
