Our next meeting will be on Wednesday 29th October at 7.30pm at St Margaret's, Putney Park Lane SW15 5HU for the first of two talks exploring Putney's religious heritage.

St Margaret’s is particularly fitting as we begin with the Church of England's presence in SW15.

It's tempting to think of Putney's many fine churches as unchanging fixtures, but SW15 has had far more places of worship than we see today—and their stories reveal fascinating chapters of local history.

From medieval foundations to Victorian Gothic revivals, from post-war rebuilds to modern conversions, Putney's church buildings tell stories of faith, community, and remarkable resilience. Some have vanished entirely, others have transformed beyond recognition, while new congregations have found innovative homes in unexpected spaces.

We'll discover which churches once stood where you now shop or live, and how architectural evolution mirrors our community's changing needs.

In order to estimate the size of the audience would all members please register at:
