Hi,


Does anyone have any old pictures or links to the old Church of Scotland site possibly known as St James Cloister located on the corner of East Dulwich Rd and Worlingham Road?


The Church was knocked down in 1976 to make way for the retirement home currently located on the site , it would of been located about midway along Goose Green.


Just after some information


Many Thanks in advance

Dyos's 'Victorial Suburb' shows comparative maps of the Worlingham road estate at 1880 and 1895. The church is in the 1895 map marked as 'St James Church'. Page 108 in my edition. Not sure what the maps are based on but most probably OS sheets.

Mention here says it was the last Scottish church built in London

More on the Rev George Stott here. His son was Lord Stott, though not born in Dulwich

Rev Dr George Gordon Stott (1868-1952) studied at the United College of St Andrews from 1886, gaining his MA in 1890, and then became a student at St Mary's College, St Andrews, being awarded a BD in 1893, and winning a number of prizes for his work. In the same year he was working as assistant to the professor of Hebrew and was licensed by Perth presbytery. He became minister at Dulwich (1898-1906), Northesk (1906-1910) and Cramond (1910-1943)

If you can get to the Booth archive, you might find something interesting here


Booth A54, pp31-35 Booklet - Life and work supplement for the Scottish National Churches in England, contains an article on St James Church, East Dulwich, November 1900

You probably want to get hold of a book called "The Scots Kirk in London" by George Cameron, published in 1979

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
