scb_admin_history The first meeting of clergymen that formally considered the practicability of founding a new missionary society (which went on to become the Missionary Society, later the London Missionary Society), took place at Baker's Coffee House, Change Alley, Cornhill [London EC3], on 4 November 1794. The meeting is described by Lovett in The History of the London Missionary Society, 1795-1895, Vol. 1, p.13. At that time, this venue was used every Tuesday morning as a place for discussion and the exchange of news by the London ministers, including "David Bogue, minister of the Independent Church at Gosport; Joseph Brooksbank, pastor of the Independent Church assembling at Haberdasher's Hall, London; John Eyre; John Love, minister of the Scotch Church in Artilleery Street, and afterwards one of the first Secretaries of the Society; John Reynolds, of Camomile Street Independent Church; James Steven, minister of the Scotch Church, Crown Court; Matthew Wilks, minister of Moorfields Tabernacle; and John Townsend, minister of the Independent Church, Bermondsey". The gathering later secured a larger room at the Castle and Falcon in Aldersgate Street.
