St Jude with St Aidan, Thornton Road, Thornton Heath
Some way west of central Thornton Heath, this building was built in 1927 and designed by W Pite, Son and Fairweather. The hall next door built in 1911 was used as a church until the current church was opened. The west end was never completed as planned.
The Annunciation and St James (Former Romanian Orthodox usage), Croydon Cemetery, Mitcham Road, Thornton Heath
This is the chapel for the large Croydon cemetery and dates from 1897. There was no sign that this building was being used by the Romanian Orthodox church either at the building itself or at the main road entrances to the cemetery when photographed in 2019. This Romanian Orthodox community no longer uses this building, they are now based in the renovated church hall of St Peter’s on Bishopsford Road.

St Paul, St Paul’s Road, Thornton Heath
Built in two campaigns – 1871 and 1900 and ascribed by the diocesan website to Richard Norman Shaw. The church is now divided with the nave being used as a hall (though it can be opened out into the eastern parts) and the eastern parts as a church. The aisles are also divided off into other ancillary rooms, several stained glass windows are in toilets and the kitchen.
