Upper Norwood
St Margaret

Built: 1901
Architect: St Aubyn & Waddling
Listing: not listed

The building is within the parish of Upper Norwood, All Saints and St Margaret)

The Church was built to the design of St Aubyn and Waddling in 1901. A contemporary sketch shows an elaborate plan with apsidal east end, north and south aisles, a tall tower and spire, a baptistry and vestries. In the event, the work was never completed and only the nave, and the three western bays of the south aisle were constructed. The east end is walled off on the line of what presumably must have been intended as the chancel arch. This wall and the remaining 'infill' external wall, i.e. the north wall, the east wall of the south aisle and remainder of the south wall give the appearance of having been hastily constructed in stock brickwork with plain, almost industrial, metal windows. The principal entrance is the north west porch which is small in size, constructed in timber with a lean-to roof. There is a similar porch at the north west corner of the church.

It was declared redundant on 6 January 2003.
