  • Chapter 3: Churches and Chapels

    Chapter 3: Churches and Chapels

    Draft CHAPTER 3 Churches and Chapels Battersea’s places of worship mostly date (or dated) from the competitive Victorian era of church-building. Between 1906 and 1939 there were seventeen separate Anglican ecclesiastical parishes in Battersea, served by nineteen churches and two missions. All but two were created between 1847 and 1902. Eleven currently survive, seven in Anglican use, three under other Christian denominations, one as a community centre. Of the eight which have been demolished, four were rebuilt on a smaller scale after the Second World War; among these, one has passed to another denomination and another has shrunk itself again. Today there are ten Anglican churches in Battersea, one Georgian in date, six Victorian, and three of the post-war period. Battersea’s three Catholic churches date from between 1868 and 1907, and all are still in use. Nonconformists are harder to enumerate. There was one old-established Baptist congregation in the parish, but it was again during Victoria’s reign that missions and chapels ran riot. From over twenty foundations of that period just two, the Northcote Road Baptist Church and the Welsh Presbyterian Chapel in Beauchamp Road, can claim continuity in their original premises. Some have rebuilt, others have moved into their halls, but most have closed. St Mary’s, Battersea, pre-eminent as the original parish church, has been the subject of an exhaustive study, J. G. Taylor’s Our Lady of Batersey (1925). It was a dependency of Westminster Abbey up to the Reformation. Its patronage passed along with the manor of Battersea to the St John family in 1627 and hence in 1763 to the Earls Spencer.
  • Chapter 4: Nine Elms

    Chapter 4: Nine Elms

    Draft CHAPTER 4 Nine Elms Nine Elms is first heard of in 1645–6, when the Battersea churchwardens’ accounts mention a brewhouse and a farm of that name. Quite possibly Nine Elms tallied with the medieval sub-manor of Hesse. That too lay in the north- eastern corner of the parish where the Hessewall or Heathwall sewer ran out into the Thames, dividing Battersea from Lambeth. What is certain is that the original Nine Elms was a hamlet at the very tip of Battersea parish, akin to other riverside settlements in Vauxhall near by around the mouth of the Effra stream. Only after about 1850 did the name creep westwards and start referring to the whole low-lying stretch of Battersea from the Lambeth border to Battersea Park. That is how ‘Nine Elms’ is applied today. Consequently this chapter covers a district delimited on its west by the railway lines running out of Victoria, and on its south by the borough boundary between Wandsworth and Lambeth, never far north of Wandsworth Road. Though not a small area, it includes little housing. So this chapter deals summarily with developments that have mostly vanished. The environmental fate of Nine Elms since the 1840s has been hapless. Railways, industry and commerce have made the running, creating structures and spaces of historic and occasionally architectural interest. All except Battersea Power Station have proved ephemeral, as has the humble housing slotted around them. Their legacy has been degradation. At the time of writing it remains to be seen whether the 21st-century regeneration of Nine Elms can do better.

    We Hope That You Like Our Create & Learn Playkits. They Are Full Of

    Hello! We hope that you like our Create & Learn PlayKits. They are full of activities and things to do in your own home. These PlayKits have been put together by a group of organisations from Wandsworth. We have all been working together to try and make sure that children aged 6-10 years old have got something fun to do, are able to make things and have got the materials to do that with. We really encourage you to be creative, use the scissors and glue to make something new. Draw a picture, write in your notebook, colour in the pictures that we have included and draw some new ones of your own. We have also included some other activities that you might like to do, whether it’s dancing in your living room, visiting a museum online or some good old fashioned storytelling. We hope that you can find something that you enjoy and maybe can share with your family or friends. If you make anything that you like and you’d like to share it with us, please do. Ask a family member to help you upload the image to Twitter, Instagram or Facebook, and use the hashtag #create&learnplaykits ​ We’re planning to get some more Create & Learn Activities out to you soon. Do let us know what you liked doing, what you might like more of and what was the most fun to do. You can do that by sending an email to Marina on [email protected]. ​ ​ We hope that you like the bags: they’re yours to keep - you can fill them with your pictures, or a picnic, or your dirty washing! Enjoy making stuff, and remember, there are no mistakes when you’re being creative, it’s all good to try.
