Chelsea Barracks Chapel. Because of the on-going (2009) redevelopment of this site, Gervase had to take his photos through gaps in the fencing. Two further views - 1, 2. Both © Gervase N. E. Charmley. Link to a news story about the development.

Chelsea Church. The church in this engraving shows Chelsea Church in 1865. It closely resembles Chelsea Old Church,  destroyed in WWII, and later re-built. Can you confirm that they are one and the same. From Colin Waters' Collection. Link (Chelsea Old Church).

Moravian Church on Fetter Lane (off the Kings Road). To quote from Andrew - "Puzzled by this. This is marked as a burial ground on the OS map and the site consists of a peaceful garden, just off the King’s Road, with a set of buildings at the top – importantly, the entrance has a ‘Moravian Church’ sign. None of the building resembled a ‘church’ in any way, shape or form, and oddly enough no-one present, in the only building that was occupied, even realised that a church was on site. Anyway, I finally found someone who appeared to know a little bit about the church and he assured me that the building in the photo’ is where they hold their services." Can you confirm that this is indeed a church? © Andrew Ross.
Gervase N. E. Charmley has been in touch to confirm that this is indeed the church. The original building on Fetter Lane was destroyed in WWII; subsequently the congregation moved to the present building, which was on the churches burial ground.
