Clapham: St Paul's church from the south

This building stands on the site of Clapham's medieval parish church - rather tucked away, and scarcely visible from the surrounding streets. The churchyard has for the most-part been cleared of gravestones. It rambles off in various directions, and local people use it as a park. Far better known as part of the south London landscape (and to me in particular, as a south-Londoner!) is Holy Trinity, out in the open near the north-east corner of the common: https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6977153 Oddly enough, Holy Trinity - on its 'greenfield site' - is the older building, dating from 1775. St Paul's dates from 1815, the year of Waterloo.
