St Faith, Shandy Street, Stepney (Ruin)

A chapel of ease to St Dunstan, it became a parish in 1926. It was opened in 1898 and designed by J E K and J P Cutts, lying between their church hall and the vicarage both of which are still there. In the gap which is now a security-fenced derelict site are the remains of arches which may or may not be in situ. The church was destroyed by bombing in 1940 and never rebuilt. The hall which was used as a youth club by St Dunstan and is also by Cutts also seems to be out of use.

St Augustine (Former), Lillie Road, Fulham (Demolished, former Mission Church now a Day Nursery)

There were two buildings on this site. The church by J.E.K. and J.P. Cutts dated from 1899 but was destroyed by WW2 bombing in October 1940. It had superseded a mission church of 1891-1892 which had been retained as a hall and which became the church. It closed in 1997 and was made redundant and is now a day nursery. The church site is now occupied by housing

Christ Church, Studdridge Street, Fulham

Closing off the view looking south down Quarrendon Street, this is a church of 1902-03 by J.E.K Cutts and J.P. Cutts. The west end has been divided off vertically and horizontally for halls, kitchens and a store-room for the food bank. The former chancel screen is now at the east end. Arts and Crafts glass by Karl Parsons is now hidden away in the store-room at the west end. There are also several later Morris and Co windows.

 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   

All Saints, Durham Road, East Finchley

A large church off Fortis Green, designed by J.E.K and J.P. Cutts and built in 1892, with the chancel and apse added in 1912. The interior has been subdivided with the westernmost bays, divided off by the former rood screen, to form hall, toilet  and kitchen areas. The church has several modern furnishings such as the figure of St Cecilia with a viol  by Susanne Küster, the Golden Madonna by Beryl Dean and St Francis of Assisi by Naomi Blake.

   
   
   
         
   
   
   
   
    
   
   
   
     
   
 

St Martin, Mortimer Road, Kensal Rise

Side on to a suburban road just around the corner from Kensal Rise station. It is a typical church by J.E.K. and J.P. Cutts dating from 1899. It was built as a memorial to C.J. Vaughan, headmaster of Harrow School. Much of the glass installed from 1910-1930 is by Henry Payne and his assistants.

St Peter, Clapham Manor Street/Prescott Place, Clapham

Just off the High Street on a very cramped site, the east end is on Clapham Manor Street, the actual entrance is on Prescott Place. It is an early church by J.E.K. Cutts, dating from 1878-84. The chancel and lady chapel were added in 1902 by J.E.K. and J.P. Cutts. Much of the stained glass in the north aisle is difficult to view as most of the light is blocked by the next-door church hall.

All Saints (former), Tytherton Road, Tufnell Park

Built in 1884-85, designed by J.E.K. Cutts, but made redundant in 1994 and now converted into flats.

St Michael and All Angels, Fountayne Road, Stoke Newington

A church of 1883-85 by J.E.K. Cutts on the eastern edge of the common. The western bay was divided off in 1972. The 19th-century glass is by Heaton, Butler & Bayne. The Stations are hung as haphazardly as the images show, they are interesting in that they reflect the fact that the church has a largely Afro-Caribean congregation.

St Mary the Virgin, Lansdowne Road, Tottenham

A typical large church of 1885-87 by J.E.K. Cutts. It was founded by Marlborough College which is one of the reasons for its more ornate than usual interior. Church website
