The church in Täby was built during the second half of the 13th century. The original building was a square hall. A vestry was added in the middle of the 14th century and another 100 years later, the church porch was made. The flat wooden ceiling was replaced by a vaulted ceiling during the second half of the 15th century. The whole building is decorated with mural paintings by one of Sweden’s important medieval painters: Albertus Pictor. His frescoes on the ceiling from the 1480s have never been whitewashed, which is unique. In 1994, there has been a thorough restoration of the church and all the frescos.

Talbot House was built in the 18th century. In 1911, the house was bought by a local banker who left the house after it was bombed by a German shell in 1915. Soon thereafter, the house was rented to the 6th division of the British army. Chaplain Philip “Tubby” Clayton decided to use the building as a soldier’s club. At first it was called “Church House” but the eventual name became “Talbot House”, after Gilbert Talbot, a young man who died on 30th July 1915. Chaplain Clayton was in charge of the clubhouse. He made sure that it felt like a ‘home away from home’, regardless your rank or status. On the attic, he made a church where soldiers could find peace, quiet, pray and go to mass.
