St George RAF Memorial Chapel, Main Road, Biggin Hill

This was built as a chapel for the , now closed, RAF camp. It replaced an earlier chapel that was destroyed by a fire in 1946. This chapel dates from 1951 and was designed by W.Wylton Todd. It is still used for regular Anglican and Roman Catholic sunday services. The glass in the nave is by  Hugh Easton and that in the attached room is by Goddard & Gibbs.

St Mark, Church Road, Biggin Hill

Built 1957-59 incorporating much material from the redundant church of All saints, North Peckham. The vicar Vivian Symons transported much of the brickwork and nave roof to Biggin Hill. He also created the etched glass and much of the plate.
