Hi all. Just to say, briefly, that ChurchCrawler (http://www.churchcrawler.co.uk/) has identified this church. It is St. John of Jerusalem, South Hackney. http://www.sjoj.co.uk/gallery/album.php?s=inside-the-church Many listers (including me) thought that the church was very late 19th century due to its unfussiness; Steve thought otherwise, that it was earlier Victorian. He turns out to be correct - it was finished in 1848. Its plainness is because it was built before High Gothic had taken off, not after it had gone out of fashion. Best wishes, Lawrence

Thank you Lawrence. It's satisfying to solve little puzzles like that. Not Essex but not far away.
