St Raphael's Church, Surbiton
The church was designed by architect Charles Parker in Italianate style, with early Christian and Renaissance influences. The cost was met by Alexander Raphael, a Catholic Armenian whose family came from India. He became the first Roman Catholic to be elected Sheriff of London after the passing of the Catholic Emancipation Act in 1829. Raphael built the Church in 1846 as a family chapel and named it after St Raphael. It was completed in 1848. He died in November 1850.

The River Thames from Queen's Promenade
Queen’s Promenade was opened by Queen Victoria in 1856 when she drove along the rebuilt Town’s End Road on her way back from a visit to Claremont at Esher. One thousand schoolchildren lined the road, which had been renamed Queen’s Parade. It is now known as Portsmouth Road. Before the 1850s the river banks had been worked for gravel, and the old road was undermined. William Woods, a local builder, undertook to provide a promenade from Raven’s Ait to St Raphael’s Church, if the Corporation would complete it up to the High Street.
The section of Queen's Promenade seen here was within the William Woods' part. Kingston Bridge can be seen in the distance.
