Why it's Wildland
3.3A Victorian parish church with a local story that reaches beyond its architecture: founded in a former pottery-making district, it became part of Notting Dale’s community life and opened its doors to people affected by the Grenfell Tower fire.
This is a modest heritage visit rather than a wild landscape escape. Its strongest Wildland interest is the church’s connection to Notting Dale’s history of community support, alongside the nearby anniversary garden and its memorial to the church’s 150th year.
