St. Jude's Church, Brockwell Park, Brixton, [south London], 1869. 'In 1822 there was but one church in the parish of Lambeth, while the parish itself extended from Southwark and the river Thames on the one side to Streatham and Camberwell on the other...[Church-building] has gone on steadily advancing, till there are at this day no less than twenty-five churches in the original parish of Lambeth. The newest of these, St. Jude's, built in the Early Decorated style of English Gothic architecture...is designed to seat 1070 persons. Its entire cost was £7900, of which £6220 has been defrayed by voluntary contributions, and £500 has been granted by the Surrey Church Association, leaving £1180 yet to be subscribed; the architect being Mr. E. C. Robins, of Southampton-street, Strand, and the contractor Mr. John Kirk, of Woolwich'. The church was damaged by fire in 1923, and was restored, only to be damaged again during WWII. It was deconsecrated in 1975 and converted to business premises. From "Illustrated London News", 1869.
