Otford - The Most Holy Trinity
Another in the ever expanding Church Micro Series, started by Sadexploration.
A chapel was erected at Little Timberden at nearby Shoreham in 1926, served by a travelling mission. This was bombed in 1944 after which the Catholics took over the old Methodist chapel in Otford which had been vacated by the Methodist congregation in 1935. From 1973 there were plans for a new church but the foundation stone was not laid until 1980 and the present church opened the following year.
The new church was designed by Stanley Kerr Bate and was built in 1980-81. It is built of brick, red externally and yellow internally, under a concrete tile roof. The main feature internally is the semi- circular sanctuary arch which springs from the floor. The sanctuary is canted and given a more decorated finish, with plastered walls and a moulded cornice. The nave is separated from the aisles by an arcade of brick piers and concrete lintel. The rafters and roof trusses are exposed to view. The pews and lectern came from a church at Mottingham. The Stations of the Cross are thought to be the work of Adam Kossowski.
