IN this book, the authors usefully fill a void by providing a comprehensive gazetteer of new churches of the period in Greater London, arranged by modern borough. Some, labelled “hall/churches”, don’t have a full entry, but each main entry is illustrated with at least one black-and-white photograph, and gives published sources.

An analytical introduction discusses chronology, funding, Winnington-Ingram and Garbett, and the work of the more important architects; and there is a list of architects and their works, besides a general index.
