Biographical history

James Knowles was responsible for the construction of the Cedars Estate in Clapham, and Saint Saviour was his maiden church. The parish was created from Holy Trinity, Clapham Common North Side (P95/TRI1). The church was built in the Decorated Gothic style of Kentish Ragstone and Bath stone fittings by Myers in 1864 and paid for by Reverend Fitzwilliam Wentworth Atkins Bowyer, Lord of the Manor and Rector. The church started life as chapel of ease to Holy Trinity.

Consecration took place on 11 November 1873 and the church became the Parish Church in about 1876. The church was bombed during the Second World War and subsequently demolished. In 1962 London County Council purchased the site for redevelopment and an apartment block (190 Cedars Road) was built on the site.
