Church of the Holy Cross, Cromer Street, Camden Town WC1 - Camden
Church in the Early English style built in 1885 by Joseph Peacock, with internal features by Charles Nicholson circa 1913. Built of yellow stock brick under clay tiled roofs; stone dressings inside and out with red brick banding inside. An unusual two-storey narthex houses the organ gallery. There is settlement of the foundations at the northeast corner causing structural cracking to the vestry and adjacent walls of the church. Other repairs are needed to the east end roofing, north side guttering and brickwork. The congregation and Diocese are actively exploring possible sources of funding.
