The church in this photo is St George, Beckenham Parish Church. The architecture is Victorian and was built in the 1880s by architect Gibbs Bartleet as a replacement for original 12th century church on the same site.

The church has 10 bells, and a band of bell ringers who meet on Thursday evenings to practice. Two of the bells were made by Gillett and Johnston (of Croydon) and the rest were made by John Warner and Sons.
