When the Wellington government translated Blomfield from Chester to London in 1828, he came to a diocese where pastoral superintendence had long ceased to bear any relation to the needs of the people. As early as 1811, 75,624 people lived in St. Marylebone, but the parish church had room for only 900 of them. Twenty years later, Baptist Noel computed that, owing to the deficiency of church accommodation, about one-third of the million and a half of the inhabitants of London were living ‘without any Christian instruction and without any public acknowledgement of God’. In 1834, in the north and north-east of London, there were only ten parishes for 353,460 people.
