St Swithun, Grovelands Road, Purley
On a hillside on the west side of the Brighton Road. There are two buildings here. On the higher ground is what is now the church hall built in 1929 and designed by S. Jupp. Below it is a church of 1954 designed By D.E. Nye and Partners. This is on the site of a church by N.F. Cachemaille-Day which was left incomplete at the outbreak of WW2 and largely demolished to enable this building to be constructed. A window and plaque commemorate two churches in Greenwich destroyed in the war and whose compensation sums paid for this building. The hall is shown in the last 2 images.

St Philip and St Mark, Avondale Square, Bermondsey
On the edge of a square of 1960s housing, the church, which is one of N.F. Cachemaille-day’s last dating from 1963, replaced a church of 1875 destroyed in WW2, although the hall survived next door. The reredos and ceiling painting is by John Hayward. At the end are my exterior photos from 2018 when it wasn’t raining.

St Paul (Former), Dollis Hill Lane, Dollis Hill (now Maharashta Mandal London)
Like the nearby Roman Catholic church this building is high above the road. It was built in 1939 by N.F. Cachemaille-Day but was made redundant and from 1989 became a Hindu cultural centre. Since redundancy it has lost its east window.
