St Lawrence, Main Road, Sidcup (Roman Catholic)

February 21, 2014 20:12 / 3 Comments on St Lawrence, Main Road, Sidcup (Roman Catholic)

Very close to Christ Church, a domed church of 1906 by Edward Goldie. Financial issues meant that completion had to wait until 1930.

St John the Evangelist, Church Road, Sidcup

February 21, 2014 20:05 / 2 Comments on St John the Evangelist, Church Road, Sidcup

To the east of the town centre, but hidden down a side turning. It is a large church of 1899-1901 by George Fellowes-Prynne, added to a chancel and lady chapel of 1882 by R.J. Withers. It features one of Fellowes-Prynne’s characteristic stone screens. The pulpit is of 1651. The church more foundation and consecration stones than any other church I know of.

In the Albany Park Estate east of Sidcup. It dates from 1964 by Braddock, Martin-Smith and Lipley. Built on a slope with halls underneath and a church on top. There are now (Jan 2024) only two Anglican services a month and the building is administered by the New Community Church.
