St Stephen

Built: 1886 - 1887

Description

"Another church by White: the foundation stone was laid on 15 May 1886, and it was consecrated in 1887. The material is the usual stock brick, laced with red. The style is fourteenth-century - later than that which White generally used: but in a church like this, style is not of much importance. The church has roads on three sides of it, and there is not much space to spare - so it is quite small, and has low, windowless aisles. The small tower, with a broach spire, is at the east of the north aisle. The clerestory stage has some dignity, and there is a substantial king-post roof. The apsidal chancel is raised on an undercroft: there is a small south chapel. A 1914-18 War memorial screen. The altar and rails are by Martin Travers, 1936."

(from 'Parish Churches of London', Basil F L Clarke, Batsford, 1966)
