Tait Chapel

The present chapel at Fulham Palace is the fourth known at the site. Designed by William Butterfield for Bishop Tait it was consecrated in 1867. After bomb damage in the 1940s it was altered in the 1950s and is now a fascinating mixture of old and new. A 1953 mural sequence by Brian Thomas adorns the walls alongside Victorian stained glass, tiles and a mosaic by Salviati.

Chelsea Old Church

Standing just a few yards from the River Thames, this historic church has a history going back into the depths of the Dark Ages. There was almost certainly a church in this spot by the 8th century, and it served as the parish church for Chelsea before the area was absorbed into the growing London metropolis.
