ECCLESIASTICAL ARCHITECTURE 



Chiddingfold. — ^Arcade between nave and north aisle, c. 1500. 



EsHER. — Flint and stone chequer work. 



EwELL. — Tower. 



HoRSLEY, West. — South aisle of nave with arcade, e. I ^oo. 



Lambeth, St. Mary. — ^The north and south aisles, 1505 ; west end rebuilt, 1523. Modern restora- 

 tions have obliterated most of these works. 



MicKLEHAM. — Norbury chapel and tombs, c. 1500. 



MoRTLAKE. — ^Tower, dated 1543. 



Petersham. — Church rebuilt, 1505. Parts of the chancel of this date. 



Putney.— Bishop West's chapel, c. 1520. Fine example of fan tracery vaulting. (The chapel 

 formerly stood on the south side of the chancel, but was removed to the north side in c. 1830.) 



Richmond. — ^Tower, c. 1500. 



Southwark, St. Mary Overie. — Bishop Fox's altar-screen. 



Of post-Reformation ecclesiastical architecture, other than purely classical or modern- 

 Surrey is fortunate in possessing some highly characteristic examples. Some are such ' good 

 Gothic ' that, as has been before remarked, they might easily be mistaken for the work of a 

 much older period. 



FROM c. 1550 TO c. 1650. 



Croydon, Whitcift's Hospital Chapel. — 1596-9. 



DuLwicH College Chapel. — i6io. 



Guildford, Abbot's Hospital Chapel. — c. 1 61 9. 



Malden. — ^Rebuilt 1610, and retaining in the chancel parts of the earlier walls. 



Morden. — Rebuilt 1636. The vrindows, priest's door, and other features are possibly relics from 



the older church. 

 Shere. — South porch, of brick, c. 1630, 

 Wandsworth. — Lower part of brick tower, built 1630. 

 Woking. — Brick porch, south of nave, c. 1622. 



With the period of the Commonwealth, Gothic architecture practically ceased to struggle 

 against the classical taste. Church-building was, however, almost at a standstill and existing 

 churches, which had fared ill enough during the Reformation period of the previous century, 

 were in many cases suffered to fall more and more into disrepair, so that by the time of the 

 restoration of Church and King numbers of them must have been in a semi-ruinous condition. 

 This is evident from churchwardens' accounts and other records, and also from the extensive 

 repairs of which the buildings themselves bear witness ; as at Warlingham, where the initials 

 O. A. appear with the date 1 678 upon a stucco panel on the south wall of the chancel, in- 

 dicating that Mistress Olive Atwood ' restored ' the church at that time. Christ church, 

 Southwark (1671) is perhaps the only new church built in the county in the latter part of the 

 seventeenth century, but one or two old churches, such as Windlesham and Bermondsey, were 

 practically rebuilt in that period — both in 1680. 



The many rebuildings, or new buildings, which date from the eighteenth and nineteenth 

 centuries, possess no features which can be considered local, and can find no place in this 

 account.'
