Bermondsey
Christ Church

Built: 1848
Architect: W Bennett Hayes
Diocesan Record Office: London Metropolitan Archives

The church was demolished in 1966.  The building was within the present parish of Bermondsey, St James with Christ Church & St Crispin.

Description

"Built 1848, by George Allen: the designer was W Bennett Hayes. The church is of brick, in Romanesque style, with what the Ecclesiologist called 'a knowing-looking clerestory thick set with windows' a south-west belfry, and a short sanctuary."

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