Croydon: St. Mary Magdalene vicarage, Canning Road
In the same Portland stone, this neatly matches the church next door and was designed by the same architect. Built 1870. They must have expected vicars to produce large families in those days.

St Mary Magdalene, Addiscombe
An Anglican parish church, grade II* listed. When built in 1868, to the designs of Edward Buckton Lamb for the private patron Maxwell Ben Oliel (a convert from Judaism), it was known as St Paul's. It was later renamed for reasons given on this link: http://www.stmmm.org.uk/content.php?folder_id=83 .
The tower was not completed until 1930.

Consecration stone of St Mary Magdalene church
The stone records the consecration of the church on 31 July 1878 by the then Archbishop of Canterbury who at that time would have been Archibald Tait http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archibald_Tait (until the 1980s, Croydon remained a detached part of Canterbury diocese).
The facts do not quite match the inscription (which was presumably made in anticipation of the event). According to the parish history, the Archbishop did not appear "due to an important debate in the House of Lords" and his son, Revd Crawford Tait, performed the ceremony on 5 August.
For context, see
