In 1816 William Inward (1771- 1843) and his son Henry William Inward (1794-1843) won an architectural competition to design a new church serving the Duke of Bedford’s Estate on the southern edge of the New Road (now Euston Road). In May 1822, the church was completed at a cost of £90,000. St Pancras Church is Grade I Listed and sits within the Bloomsbury Conservation Area in the London Borough of Camden. Based upon the Erechtheion in Athens, the church is considered an exemplar of Greek Revival architecture.
In 2014, the church was awarded an HLF Grant to recover the roof of the west portico and to repair the vestibule parapet walls where ironwork decay is causing serious damage. The project was shortlisted for the EASA/King of Prussia Gold Medal and won the prestigious SPAB John Betjeman Award in 2017.
