Battersea
St Bartholomew

Built: 1901
Architect: G H Fellowes Prynne
Diocesan Record Office: London Metropolitan Archives

The church was declared redundant in 1972 and has been sold to the Greek Orthodox Church.  The building is within the parish of Lavender Hill, The Ascension & Battersea, St Philip with St Bartholomew.

Description

"Work in this dreary district was begun by the Rev T L Goslett, who held services in a shop, and in various small rooms, and eventually succeeded in getting the church built.

The foundation stone was laid on 1 November 1900, and the consecration was in 1901.

G H Fellowes Prynne was the architect, and the builder was W H Lorden, of Tooting. The church stands between two roads, with a proper entrance from neither. It is of stock brick, varied with red, with a tall nave and chancel of the same height."

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