Completed in 1896 and designed by William Willmer Pocock (1813-99) this polychromatic brick neo-gothic church is an attractive and distinctive local landmark with its quaint corner turret topped by a spirelet. Pocock was a distinguished national architect, his works include Carpenters’ Hall, City of London, Dartford Methodist Church and the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Elephant and Castle (all Grade II listed buildings). | |||
Vestries were added to the church in 1924 and a new street entrance in 1961. To the rear, fronting on Parkhurst Road is the Parkhurst Hall (1892) designed by Philip H Tree, used as the chapel before the church was built and then as a meeting hall and schoolroom. | |||
