St Peter, Mount Park Road, Ealing

This was designed by J.D. Sedding in 1889 but carried out by Henry Wilson 1892-93. A good example of Sedding and Wilson’s free gothic style. The richly decorated Lady Chapel by E.J. May was added in 1913, with the reredos by C.G. Hare added in 1920.

St Mary Magdalene, Enfield

A late William Butterfield church of 1883. It sits on a hilltop above Enfield and near the Ridgeway. The chancel was decorated in 1897 with designs by Nathaniel Westlake and Charles Buckeridge. It was restored in 2012 and presents a great contrast with the rather plain nave.  Much of the stained glass was designed by Butterfield and made by Heaton, Butler and Bayne.

St Michael, Chase Side, Enfield

A suburban church at the foot of Gordon Hill north of  Enfield Town, by Carpenter & Ingelow 1874, the unfinished west end was completed in 1963.

St John, Friern Barnet

By J.L. Pearson 1890-91 but completed by his son Frank 1888-1901 with the west end completed in 1911. The interior is wholly stone vaulted and contains a large series of windows by Clayton & Bell and just a couple of much more recent windows at the west end.

All Hallows, Savernake Road, Gospel Oak

Possibly the best James Brooks church (though unfinished) dating from 1889-1901.The chancel was added 1913-15 by Giles Gilbert Scott, but the nave vault was never built, hence the cut off springer arches on each column.

St Martin, Gospel Oak

A classic eccentric low church design by E.B. Lamb dating from 1864-65. It features one of his marvellously complex wooden roof constructions over a very wide crossing.The tower pinnacles were restored in 2014, I have left one older exterior picture for comparison.
