All Saints (former), Bute Avenue, Petersham

November 4, 2016 15:23 / Leave a comment

Built in 1907-08 by John Kelly, it is a huge Romanesque, very red basilica down a private road. It was never consecrated and regular services ended in the early 1960s, after that it was used only for weddings and occasional services until 1981. It was out of use by 1986 and sold for conversion to housing in 1996. I visited the interior in the early 1980s but have no pictures.

St Peter, Petersham Lane, Petersham

Down a narrow lane, off the main road in the pretty but traffic laden village of Petersham, south of Richmond. The chancel is 12th century, the very large transepts are 18th and early 19th century. The interior retains many 18th century furnishings.
