All Saints’ church, Putney, was opened as a chapel of ease in 1874. The chief or sole benefactor of the chapel, which cost £7,800, was the Earl Spencer, lord of the manor.
Its size and modesty befit its role as a chapel of ease, although there is, as in so many of Street’s buildings, a sense of compressive strength in the stubby buttresses and Early English windows on the exterior. By comparison, the interior is richly polychromatic and the many Morris & Co windows are of outstanding quality. The building is listed Grade II*.
This visit will be the last church visit as part of the G E Street Bicentenntial programme.
