Why it's Wildland
3.4A Lewisham landmark with a striking campanile: the parish says its 126-foot bell tower was built in 1929 and is crowned by a 12-foot statue of Christ the King.
The draw here is a distinctive church tower embedded in Lewisham’s everyday streetscape, rather than a landscape escape. Its 1929 campanile and rooftop statue give the building a clear local landmark character.
