Peckham Park Road Baptist Chapel
A church was built on this site in 1861/2. The plinth and foundation stone were originally part of Old Westminster Bridge, and can still be seen although the chapel was partly rebuilt in 1951 after war damage. Source: http://www.peckhamhistory.org.uk/churchesBap.htm

Saints Peter & Paul

Image and
Image It is not clear why the mosaic in the tympanum is of Saints Peter and Paul rather than St Mary to whom the church is dedicated.
The wording in the mosaic is "Thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my church" - the words of Jesus when he gave Simon his "Christian name" of Cephas / Peter (meaning Rock).
