Emmanuel, Normanton Road, South Croydon

Forming an eye-catching view up Lismore Road, this is a church of 1899 by T. Roger Smith. The purple cast on some shots is due to the lighting in use during my visit.

St Peter, St Peters Road, South Croydon

Very close to the station in a large sloping churchyard. It is by George Gilbert Scott and dates from 1849-1851, the tower and spire not being completed until 1864 with rebuilding after a fire in 1865.

St Gertrude, Purley Road, South Croydon (Roman Catholic)

Sitting at the end of a narrow street towards Sanderstead this church was designed by F.A. Walters and constructed in 1903, it has had both an eastwards extension (1922-23 by S. Bartlett) and a westwards one in 1935 by E.J. Walters.
