Brixton Hill
St Saviour

Built: 1874 - 75
Architect: E C Robins
Diocesan Record Office: London Metropolitan Archives

The church of Brixton Hill, St Saviour was made redundant in 1977 and leased to the New Testament Church of God.

Description

"The foundation stone was laid by James Watney on 15 July 1874, and the church was consecrated on 29 September 1875. The architect was E C Robins. St Saviour’s is a large church of Kentish rag, in French thirteenth-century style. A tower is at the west end of the north aisle, pinnacled, with an octagonal, slate-covered cap. The nave is of six bays, with low, rather wide aisles, and a clerestory of plate traceried windows. The chancel is rather short.

Glass in the east window by Heaton, Butler and Bayne, 1875: in the nave and aisles, Powell."

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