TQ4772 : St Andrew, Marylands Drive, SidcupTQ4772 : St Andrew, Marylands Drive, Sidcup - SanctuarySt Andrew, Marylands Drive, SidcupThe church was designed by Braddock, Martin-Smith & Lipley and completed in 1965. Pevsner and Cherry describe it as "ingenious, fashionable and slightly absurd. In plan an octagon, set on a slope so that the church proper, reached from the road by a glazed bridge, occupies only the roof. The walls, of charcoal brick ... are [those] of the parish room."
A
short history can be found on the church's own website and this church makes an interesting contrast with another of the same dedication and date north of the Thames:
