St Patrick, Park Hill Road, Wallington
Deep in suburbia and well south of the town centre. The church dates from 1932 and is by Newberry & Fowler. At the end of the exterior views I have included two from 2015 before the current Church rooms and revised entrance arrangements were in place, these follow two similar current views.
St Michael & All Angels, Milton Road, South Beddington
Actually very close to Wallington Roman Catholic Church. It is by W.D. Caroe and dates from 1906, it was left unfinished until 1929 when a shortened version of the nave and west end was added. The tower was never completed. The east-end images are from an earlier visit as those views are not now accessible.
Saint Elphege, Stafford Road, Wallington (Roman Catholic)
Away from the town centre, a church of 1971-1972 by Williams & Winkley. There is a main worship space with a day chapel behind it and separately accessed from the porch area.
Holy Trinity, Maldon Road/Manor Road, Wallington
By Habershon and Brock dating from 1867. On my original visit in March 2015 the interior was inaccessible owing to a major restoration and reordering which was finished in November 2015. On the north side of the church, there is a large atrium linking the church through its north wall to a complex of halls and other rooms. The final two images show the church under restoration in 2015.

St Mary, Church Road, Beddington
Attractively sited in a large churchyard next to Beddington Park and Carew Manor. Much of it dates from the 14th century with an 1867-69 restoration by Joseph Clarke, with the dormers added in 1907 bu H.P. Burke-Downing. Apart from the new north aisle, added by Clarke, most walls are covered in 19th-century paintings and stencilling. There is an organ case with early William Morris decoration and a huge doom altarpiece, now at the west end of the north aisle, by Clayton and Bell. There are a number of misericords in the choir stalls.
