EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite interior of the Olivet Deptford Baptist Church in Greater London. The image showcases the remarkable brickwork and joinery of the church's sloping walls, highlighting its modern design and craftsmanship. Constructed in February 1980, this Baptist church utilized a laminated timber frame with brick cladding and precast concrete planks for its floors. The building was thoughtfully designed to accommodate various functions, including a hall, school room, dining area, kitchen, creche (childcare facility), and even a flat for the minister. The photograph provides a glimpse into the spaciousness and elegance of this religious space. The seating arrangement is neatly organized towards an elevated dais at one end of the church. Sunlight streams through large windows, illuminating every corner with warmth and serenity. Published in Team Spirit, Laing's newsletter in March 1981, this image stands as a testament to both architectural excellence and spiritual devotion. It serves as a reminder that places of worship can be not only sacred but also aesthetically pleasing sanctuaries where communities come together to celebrate their faith. Thanks to Historic England Archive for preserving this snapshot from our past—a visual representation of how religion intertwines with artistry within our society's history.
