The Victorian Chapel
The Victorian 'Christ Church' was bombed during the Second World War, and only the associated Lincoln Memorial Tower, an adjoining part of the original 'Christ church' complex, remains to this day. However, the original foundation stone of Christopher Newman Hall's Christ Church was salvaged after the destruction of the Second World War, and has been conveniently placed at the foot of the nearby Lincoln Memorial Tower on Westminster Bridge Road. It reads;
This memorial stone
of
Christ Church
was laid June 26, 1873,
by
Samuel Morley M.P.
'built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone'.
Newman Hall LLB pastor. J. Perry & Co builders. H.J.Paull FRIBA, Alfred Bickerdike, architects.
