Church of St Saviour

church building United Kingdom
St Saviour's, Brixton Hill was, until 1977, a daughter church of St. Mathew's, Brixton. It was then declared redundant and leased to the New Testament Church of God, who extended it in 2000. In the 1870s housing development was taking place in the area north of the Windmill in Brixton Hill that had previously been meadowland and brickfields. At a meeting held at St. Matthew's vicarage on March 24, 1873, it was decided to build a new daughter church to serve a population that by then had reached of some 4,000. A site was acquired and the architect, E.C. Robins was commissioned to design the building. The church was consecrated in September 1875. Shortly afterwards an associated chapel was built in Vicary Road. The building is in in French thirteenth-century style style utilising grey Kentish ragstone with Bath stone dressings. The tower at the north-west corner has four circular corner pinnacles and an octagonal louvred lantern with a single chimed bell of 1897 that was given for Queen Victoria's jubilee. The nave has of six bays, with low, wide aisles. Sources: London Metropolitan Archives, British History On-line. The church featured as Ambrose Chapel in the 1956 film, 'The Man Who Knew Too Much'
