St Peter, Eltham Road/Weighall Road, Lee
A small church of 1983 which replaced a church of 1960 that had developed structural problems. That church had replaced one of 1871, closed in 1939 and made redundant in 1960 after significant war damage. The architect is unrecorded.

Now a stabilised ruin. It lies across the road from the main garrison buildings. It was built in 1863 by T.H. Wyatt, but gutted in WW2. The east end is now protected by a tensile roof erected in 2015 to preserve the fabric and the mosaics.
