St Saviours

St Saviours was built in 1848 and designed by Samuel Whitfield Daukes (1811-1880), who also designed the Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester.

It was originally intended as a little church for the poor, and was built on the instigation of Father Charles Lowder, the high church curate who later became known and respected as vicar in the East London Docks.

The design is of a High Church style, with Tractarian Screen, long chancel and an altar raised on many steps with a reredos by Pugin.  The glass is by O'Connor, there is a built-in pulpit and pews with poppy heads.

The church is now redundant.
