Background
History
Initially, Christians in Hampstead Garden Suburb congregated together, but it was decided in 1909 to organise the Church of England and Free Church meetings separately. The Free Church first met, before the existence of the building, in 1909 and was officially founded in 1910. Construction of the Free Church building was begun on 16 January 1911. It opened for worship on 25 October that year, though its West end was not completed until the 1960s. It was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, the consultant architect for the Central Square of Hampstead Garden Suburb from 1906. He had influence on the design of the whole square, including both churches.
Architecture
The church has a low concrete dome, by contrast to the spire of St Jude's. The interior features Tuscan columns with brick plinths, and a barrel vault. The interior is in pastel colours.
