Fetter Lane Moravian Church was founded in 1742 by members of the Unitas Fratrum who had come to London in search of passage to the British colonies in the Caribbean. They realised that there was work to do here in this country and that there were people here, like James Hutton and the Wesley Brothers with whom to do it. After holding worship meetings in peoples' homes, a permanent home was created at Fetter Lane in the heart of the City of London.
The congregation was served by ministers from Germany and Great Britain and also had links with the failed Sharon project in Chelsea based around Lindsey House. Unfortunately the Fetter Lane Chapel was destroyed in 1941 by the Luftwaffe and so the congregation became disparate, worshipping in chapels of various denominations, mostly south of the Thames.
Eventually, in the 1960s it was decided to re-establish the Fetter Lane Congregation on the King's Road in Chelsea in one of the buildings at the northern edge of God's Acre. This is where the congregation has worshipped ever since with the duty of looking after the God's Acre, which contains the graves of Peter Bohler, John Cennick and James Hutton, amongst others.
