Church of St Jude, Central Square, Hampstead Garden Suburb NW11 - Barnet

Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, St Jude's was consecrated in 1911 with the west end completed in 1935. There are frescoes throughout by Walter Starmer, dating from 1919-30. The church has damp issues; there is cracking evident internally to walls and to the floor and some areas of the frescoes are suffering from salt damage. The weathervane was reinstated in 2021 and the spire repaired, damaged when the weathervane fell in a storm. A Historic England Heritage at Risk grant was awarded for emergency repointing of open joints in the brick tower at the same time.
