Christ Church, East Sheen: tower
Image: © Stephen Craven Taken: 15 Mar 2006
Photographed (quite unknowingly) on the anniversary of the collapse of the original tower on 15 March 1863 - for an account of the incident see the parish website http://www.mortlakeparish.org.uk/christchurch/CChistory/CChistory.html Although it looks to have been designed for a ring of bells, to the best of my knowledge there are no bells installed. The church is a "chapel of ease" of Mortlake parish.
