Interior of the Ascension church
The parish church of the Ascension was originally a chapel founded in 1695. Only the apse (semicircular sanctuary as shown in the photo) remains of this original building. The rest of the church was rebuilt by Lord Dartmouth in 1834. It was made a parish church in 1883; the pews date from that time. The church was restored after the Second World War with the north and south galleries being removed and the west gallery cut back.

Dartmouth House, Dartmouth Row, Blackheath
This 18th century house, now divided into apartments, is listed grade 2 (list entry number 1080040).
It appears to have had several different names: originally it was Dartmouth House, the London home of the Earl of that ilk. But the list description calls it "Southwark Diocesan House" as it was at one time owned by the Church of England (but a local vicar tells me they sold it in the 1970s). It was also known as the "Greyladies College for Women Workers", in institution founded in 1893, by Bishop Yeatman of Rochester and occupying this site from 1907, at which time a chapel was added. The Greyladies were "a society of ladies living together for the purpose of helping in the work of the Church of England under the incumbents of the diocese" at a time when of course they could not be priests themselves.

Church of the Ascension, Blackheath
This Anglican parish church on Dartmouth Row is grade 2* listed. It was originally a chapel founded in 1695, but the west end seen here dates from 1834 and is therefore classed as late Georgian. See the interior photo
