St Michael's Church in Stockwell Park Road. The church plans were begun in 1839 when the land was gifted by William Cox during the development of Stockwell Park. It was built at a cost of £4,918 to the designs of William Rogers in the 'Lancet' or Early English Gothic style and accommodated 1350 parishioners. It was consecrated by the Bishop of Winchester on the 9th November 1841. In 1880 the layout was altered, moving the altar from beneath the tower arcade to the west end, where a new apsidal chancel replaced a porch. The exterior was restored with new pinnacles in 1896, and the interior renovated in 1920 by A.R. Powys. Damaged in June 1944 by a flying bomb, it was restored and re-dedicated in 1952.
