I thought this area was Worcester Park (the header says it's Tolworth) but the church notice board says this is Cuddington parish church. Cuddington was a medieval village which was summarily demolished, church and all, in 1538 by Henry 8th who had decided he wanted the land for his new palace at Nonsuch Park. The old parish was still on the books however, and when the spread of Victorian London reached this area a new parish church was built in 1895 after a gap of nearly 360 years.
