Gilbert Scott's Kensington parish church, entered along a vaulted cloister and carrying a broach spire over the east end.
Christianity
Rebuilt between 1869 and 1872 by Sir Gilbert Scott in rubblestone with ashlar dressings, in the Geometrical style: an aisled nave, a lower chancel, and - unusually - the tower at the east end rather than the west, carrying a broach spire with double pinnacles at the corners and lucarnes up its faces.
You come in along a vaulted cloister, which is later than the church: Micklethwaite and Somers Clarke added it between 1889 and 1893, and it is the best thing about arriving here, because it puts a covered walk between Kensington Church Street and the door.
Inside, monuments and the pulpit were carried over from the church this one replaced, so the fittings are older than the building around them. The Victorian font is good.
Open daily 08:30-18:00; Saturdays from 10:00.
