St Philip (former), Queenstown Road, Battersea now St. Mary Debre Tsion Kidist Mariam Ethiopean Orthodox Tewahedo Church
Built for the Park Town Estate by James Knowles junior in 1869-70. It has been used by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church for many years and since redundancy in 2007 they have had sole use, owning the freehold since 2010. The interior was photographed after a service when the air was full of incense which may make some images somewhat misty.
