Abstract: |
In December 2015 Archaeology South-East (a division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology, UCL) carried out a historic buildings record of the Garden Museum (St Mary's Church), Lambeth Palace Road, Lambeth, London (NGR TQ 3060 7900). The work was commissioned by Gardiner and Theobald LLP on behalf of the Tradescant Trust, and requested by the London Borough of Lambeth/English Heritage GLAAS, relating to the construction of an extension to the east of the existing church, which will involve the relocation of a number of historic funerary monuments, together with the refurbishment of the interior of the Grade II* listed church and the rebuilding of the existing graveyard wall. St Mary's lies on a site of long-standing importance, at a crossing-place of the River Thames since at least the Roman period, and an Anglo-Saxon manorial residence, the predecessor of the present Lambeth Palace. The church was(re-)founded in 1056, and passed to the ownership of the Archbishops of Canterbury in 1197, remaining in use as a component of their London residence thereafter. Substantially rebuilt in stone between 1374 and 1377, and extensively restored in the late 17th century, the tower is the only part of the original church to remain. The present structure was almost wholly rebuilt during a 'restoration' by the architect Philip Charles Hardwick in 1850-51. Dwindling congregations led to its closure in 1972 and conversion soon after into the present museum of garden history. |
