The history of the parish of Poplar and of the several churches which it contained is detailed in the following pages. Today we just have All Saints' and St Nicholas' remaining. The other churches which are now closed are St. Michael's, St Saviour's, St Frideswide, and St Matthias.

A leaflet with a brief outline of the history of the parish has been written by Veronica Hyden and Janice Milbank and may be found here.

Details about the church registers which are of interest to genealogists and those wishing to trace their family's roots are detailed in the Parish Register pages. These pages also contain links to other web sites of interest.

A history of the Parish of Poplar is avaliable in the 1927 Official Guide to the Borough
