All Saints’ Church, West Dulwich, designed by George Fellowes Prynne, was built between 1888 and 1891. The original plans for the building were highly ambitious and the western portion was never completed, being brutally closed off with an ugly ‘temporary’ wall when funds ran out with the Nave only half of its intended length. However, the scale and grandeur of Fellowes Prynne’s design still can be appreciated when approaching from Rosendale Road. The building, listed Grade I, was severely damaged by fire in June 2000. The damage included the loss of the roofs, all internal fittings and fixtures, stained and plain glass, the tracery within the Chancel arch and most of the skin to the internal polychrome brickwork and stonework. Secondary damage led to the loss of the Nave floor and finishes as well as the marble floor and mosaics in the Chancel, Sanctuary and Lady Chapel. Severe damage was also done to the carved statuary and decoration. Following the fire, three principal phases of activity have been pursued. The first was to make the building safe and to salvage as much historic fabric as possible. The intense heat of the fire had damaged both stone and brickwork, creating enormous conservation challenges which had to be addressed prior to the start of reconstruction. The second phase has centred on replacing enough facilities to allow the parish to continue in its primary role, that of worship and mission. As a consequence, the Crypt was temporarily as a base for community and Parish activities. The third and major phase was directed at repairing and re-modelling the surviving fabric of All Saints’ to provide a building that would meet the aspirations of the parish and provide a wider community role in the future. The interior was remodelled and a new west end was designed to replace the ad-hoc ‘temporary’ Victorian work. The new entrance links the church and crypt levels together. The form and materials of the new construction are intended to complement the high quality of the original work and required much careful discussion and development with the church authorities, local authority and English Heritage.
