St Barnabas, Gorringe Park Avenue, Mitcham

Hall

St Olave, Church Walk, Mitcham

At the end of two dead end roads, a church of 1931 by A.C. Martin. It was financed by the sale of the suite of St Olave, Tooley St in Southwark. The pulpit and font were brought from that church. The west porch was added to the “temporarily finished” west end in the 1960s.

The Ascension, Sherwood Park Road, Pollards Hill, Mitcham

A suburban church of 1951-53 designed by Caroe and Partners.
