GB 0074 P84/JUD 1870-2006 Collection 3.61 linear metres Parish of St Jude, South Kensington , Church of England

Saint Jude's was one of three churches designed by George and Henry Godwin and built on the Gunter Estate. Usually a new church was the culmination of a building development but Saint Jude preceded the houses. Some members of Anglican Low Church were dismayed by the spread of ritualistic services in the new parishes and determined to build their own church in Courtfield Gardens. It was funded largely by John Derby Allcroft, a glove manufacturer. The church was described in a survey of religious buildings in the 1870's as standing out 'boldly, treeless and alone, it has within three months collected one of the largest congregations around London'. The original plain interior was embellished by Clayton and Bell stained glass windows, Minton and majolica tiling and an alabaster and marble reredos and pulpit. Much of it was lost by bombing in 1940 but restored to its original state. In 2006, Saint Jude merged with Saint Mary the Boltons.
