Description: This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the serene and architecturally stunning entrance to St Columba's Church, located on Pont Street in London's Lennox Gardens. Dedicated on the 4th of December, 1955, this Scottish Episcopal Church was designed by the esteemed British architect Sir Edward Maufe, R.A. (Royal Academician). 3. Background: Sir Edward Maufe, renowned for his modernist and ecclesiastical designs, was commissioned to create a new church for the Scottish Episcopal community in London. St Columba's Church, with its circular window and minimalist aesthetic, is a testament to Maufe's innovative approach to religious architecture in the post-war 1950s. 4. Architectural Details: The photograph highlights the intricate details of the Lennox Gardens entrance, including the circular window that bathes the entrance in soft, natural light. The clean lines and geometric shapes of the brickwork and stonework showcase Maufe's commitment to modern design, while the warm tones of the materials add a sense of warmth and welcome to this sacred space. 5. Historical Significance: St Columba's Church was dedicated in 1955, marking an important moment in the history of London's religious architecture. As one of the few modernist churches in the city, it stands as a testament to the enduring influence of Sir Edward Maufe's designs and the evolving role of religious buildings in contemporary urban life. 6. Conclusion: This photograph of St Columba's Church, Pont Street, London - Lennox Gardens Entrance, offers a glimpse into the rich architectural heritage of post-war London and the innovative designs of Sir Edward Maufe, R.A.
