St John the Baptist Church, Old Malden

An inclusive Church with very friendly people.
Also has the best coffee in the parish!
All welcome!

Visited at noon on a Monday morning, and found it locked up with no key notice. This is an interesting and unusual 17th century building in local brick, with a bonkers later 19th century extension stuck onto the north side. The tiled roof looks as if it is coming to the end of its useful life. Warning -churches that are kept locked up ,are viewed with disfavour if and when they apply for any grant aid towards restoration. I keep our own Surrey church open all day every day, and can claim some influence in this matter.

Lovely old church, I beleive its from the 12th centuary making it one of the oldest around the area. Inisde looks absolutely beautiful. Used to go here all the time with school, recently my brother had his wedding here and it was a perfect fit.

Lovely atmosphere in a rather old church. The volunteers who were on duty when a group of friends cycled to visit, provided tea/coffee and biscuits for us.

We hear the bells of the church every Sunday morning loud and clear from our bedrooms. The church has a nice space for children to play in. The cemetery around it makes it somewhat spooky, but also reminds us of the ancestors who lived in this area. Around the church are some really nice areas for walk.

Beautiful place. Rest in the churchyard then walk on down to the river.

Felt like i was on set for midsummer murders very quaint

Sat in the beautiful sheltered church gardens and enjoyed a welcome break

There were so many adaptations to the church, I would really appreciate knowing its historical progress
