Petts Wood - St Francis of Assisi
Another in the ever expanding Church Micro Series, started by Sadexploration.
Petts wood is believed to have been planted in the last quarter of the 16th century by the Pett family, who were leading shipwrights for 200 years.
In 1927 an entrepreneur from Essex secured an option on 400 acres of woodland and strawberry fields in Petts Wood. He paid for a road layout to be designed and for Southern Railway to open a station in 1928. He then leased plots to builders, who built the houses on the eastern side of the railway, often in mock-Tudor style. St Francis’s church was built on Willett Way in 1935 to provide a local church for these houses. It was designed by Geoffrey Mullins, an architect from Chislehurst and is of brick construction. The east window by James Hogan was installed in 1941.
