Collection N/C/70 - BLACKHEATH CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH

0.81 linear metres

N/C/70 1858-1954 Collection 0.81 linear metres Congregational Church of England and Wales

The foundation stone of Blackheath Congregational Church was laid on 18 July 1883 and the church, which was designed by the architects Brandon and Ritchie of Greenwich, was opened for public worship on 11 July 1854.

The church was badly damaged during the Second World War. In February 1957 a new building, designed by Dannatt, was erected within the walls of the old church. The ecumenical developments of the 1960s led to the union of the Baptist and Congregationalist congregations in Blackheath, and in 1974 the Blackheath Congregational Church was closed.

Deposited in 1977 (AC/77/010).
