Spire House residential development (former Christ Church, Lancaster Gate) front (= South face)

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The front (South face) of Spire House, a residential development which incorporates the fine Victorian Gothic spire of Christ Church, Lancaster Gate. The last service to be held in the church took place in 1977, following which the building was deconsecrated and the remainder demolished owing to concerns about dry rot (and presumably also falling congregation numbers and lack of funds). The tall spire is visible from a considerable distance at various points in Kensington Gardens/Hyde Park to the South, and is often mistaken for the stylistically similar spire of St. Matthew’s, Bayswater (farther to the West) - to the sadness and annoyance of the current incumbent of St. Matthew’s, who sees in Spire House a melancholy symbol of the decline of Christianity in Britain.
