Christ Church East Sheen

An early work of the architect Arthur Blomfield,[1] the church building, which is in stone, was erected between 1862 and 1864 and extended in 1887.[2] It was built on farmland at the entrance of East Sheen Common. It was originally planned to be opened in April 1863; however, the tower collapsed shortly before completion and had to be rebuilt. The church was finally completed and consecrated nine months later, on 13 January 1864.[3] The building is Grade II listed,[4] as are the wrought iron railings around the building to the south and west.[5]
