Luke Howard and two of his sons John and Robert were co-founders of the Brook Street Chapel in Tottenham, North London, England, meeting initially in the home of Mrs. Sands at what is now Stoneleigh Road in 1838, until the Brook Street Chapel's present location was constructed in 1839. Other notable members of the assembly have included James Von Summer (founder of the Echoes of Service missions magazine), and Edmund Gosse, who taught in the S.S. Some of the brethren who taught or visited this assembly in the early years include John Nelson Darby, Anthony Norris Groves, George Muller, James Hudson Taylor, Thomas Barnardo and Philip Gosse (Edmund's father). This assembly remained with the Open Brethren (OB) thru the OB/EB divide a decade later, and is still active in 2022.
