The Chapel, Fulham Palace, Bishops Avenue, Fulham
This was the chapel for the Bishops of London when they occupied Fulham Palace up until 1973. The Palace and its grounds are now open to the public. The current chapel was designed by William Butterfield and built 1866-1867. Much of the polychromatic brickwork was obscured after WW2 by the murals painted by pupils at Byam Shaw Art School. The reredos is now on the entrance wall. The east window is by Ninian Comper , the rest by Clayton & Bell.
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 It had superseded a mission church of 1891-1892 which had been retained as a hall and which became the church.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

All Saints, Church Gate, Fulham
At the north end of Putney Bridge facing across to Putney Parish Church, this is the old parish church of Fulham on the edge of Bishop’s Park. The tower dates from 1440 but the rest was rebuilt in 1880-81 by Arthur Blomfield. Inside there is a large collection of monuments from before the rebuilding and much, mainly Heaton, Butler and Bayne, glass. Some medieval pieces remain together with an older Wailes window and a later one by Margaret H.E. Rope.
