St John, Church Avenue, Southall Green

Constructed in 1910 by C.G.Miller to replace the old church on King Street, a few yards away. Inside some of the aisles have been partitioned off with glass screens and some of the chancel furnishings have been removed, as have the pews. The west end of the nave is a huge wooden war memorial. There are also some wall memorials from the previous St John.

St John, King Street, Southall Green (former)

Built in 1838 but replaced by a new church close by in 1910. !n 2014 the churchyard was still maintained to some extent. A visit in 2022 found the church enclosed by high fencing and looking in a poor state. The western end of the churchyard has been replaced by a featureless area of paving.

St Mary the Virgin, Tentelow Lane, Norwood Green

At the eastern end of a large green south of Southall. The church is of the 12th or 13th century but it was refaced in 1864 and a tower added in 1896 so the exterior looks 19th century.

St Cuthbert, Philbeach Gardens, Earls Court

At the apex of a Crescent near Earls Court Station. This is a centre of Anglo-Catholicism built in 1884-88 by H. Roumieu Gough. The interior has many arts and crafts fittings (e.g. lectern, altar rails, clock, royal arms) of 1897-1910 by W. Bainbridge Reynolds, together with a huge reredos of 1913-14 by Gilbert Boulton to designs by Ernest Geldart. The Lady Chapel has post-WW2 glass by Hugh Easton. Much of the interior wall decoration in the church was undertaken by members of Guilds founded by the church. The stained glass in the nave and clerestory is largely by C.E, Tute, that in the Baptistry by Kempe. The Stations of the Cross were painted by Franz Vinck in 1888. The Lady Chapel reredos, pulpit sounding board and an external Calvary were designed by J. Harold Gibbons. As there is so much to see the images are organised in a number of galleries.
