ST AGNES CHURCH, KENNINGTON PARK

Interior of St Agnes church next to Kennington Park, consecrated by the Bishop of London in 1877. It was built to the designs of George Gilbert Scott Jnr at a cost of £13,000 and seated 1,200. The finishing of the church and adjacent vicarage, was by Higgs & Hill of South Lambeth. The church was bombed in 1941 during WWII losing the roof, but the decision was taken afterward to rebuild rather than repair despite a campaign led by John Betjeman and Stephen Dykes Bower.
