All Saints, Church Street, West Ham

A large church, largely of the 16th century, but some blocked windows over the north aisle arcade shows evidence of an earlier building. A covered walkway links the south door to the street, this was rebuilt in the 19th century. When I visited in 2013 it was derelict but has been restored as part of the project to add vestries, offices, etc to the western end of the south aisle. The church was restored in 1847-1849 by George Dyson and George Gilbert Scott and later in 1892-1894 by C.C. Winmill. There are many monuments, unfortunately, the large ones are part hidden by stored items.

Christ the Saviour, New Broadway, Ealing W5 2XA

The church for the Ealing Broadway commercial centre of the borough. Designed by Gilbert Scott, 1852. Internal decoration, pulpit and organ cases are by G.F. Bodley. The post war glass is by Hugh Easton.

St John the Baptist (Croydon MInster), Church Street, Croydon

Croydon parish church, but in a backwater away from the main shopping area. The old church was destroyed by fire in 1867. The current church is a rebuild with an eastward extension, by George Gilbert Scott in 1870. All that remains from the old church is the south porch and the tower, apart from the pinnacles which were added by Scott. The former palace of the Archbishops of Canterbury is at the east end of the churchyard and several of them are commemorated in the church.
