note cusping in porch arch, unbelievably smashed out when the building was taken over by some tacky old dears' music hall; just part of the poor treatment that this excellent building has suffered. still, I suppose it's marginally better than total destruction, which was once on the cards. copy of one of a set of old analogue photos of this east end church built in 1860-2 by teulon

interior of brooks' church of 1867-8, divided up in an ugly way by the brazilian cult who now own the church. the uckg have been accused of various financial improprieties, but seem mostly to be guilty of preaching prosperity theology, claiming that if their members give everything to the church, god will make them rich and successful. seems to work for the church, nice tennis courts hidden behind the chancel now, and plenty of the men in charge have flash cars and private jets. not that battening on the hopes of the hopeless is anything new for religious organizations of any sort, but these pentacostalists are also pretty illiberal about other faiths too, and do more than just dabble in politics and the media. a dodgy bunch, but then so is the vatican. no sign of the other fittings mentioned in pevsner.
