Does anybody know what is happening to the building at St Peter's Church at Dulwich Common? They seem to have had some quite elaborate clear perspex covers installed over all of the windows and quite extensive scaffolding to the rear visible from Cox's Walk. It is an attractive Victorian building and good to see that work is being carried out but I am curious about what is happening. There are no planning notices posted so that doesn't help.

No.


No Church of England ownership or involvement at all now, and therefore no vicar.

The interesting thing about the church is that it is Grade II listed. It was constructed between 1873 and 1875 and the Tower built later in 1885. It was designed by Charles Barry Jnr. What intrigued me was the new external windows which appear to be made of clear perspex. They have been cut to the Gothic shape of the windows frames.
I seem to remember that the Dulwich Society was urging Southwark Council to take enforcement action to get the church to remove unauthorised alterations to this listed building and reinstate it to its previous condition. I don't know to what extent the Society was successful in this effort, if at all.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
