Corpus Christi Roman Catholic church in Brixton Hill was built on the front gardens of Bethel House with the foundation stone laid by Bishop Butt in 1886. The architect was John Francis Bentley, the designer of Westminster Cathedral, and the first phase was opened in 1887. The building was later enlarged with transepts in 1903-4, modifying Bentley's design. Bomb damage in World War II caused some of his stained glass to be lost, although the building is now listed Grade II*.Linskey Postcard Collection.
