One of Putney’s most attractive and historic churches is encouraging everyone to visit it on a series of open days it is holding over the next few months.

It will provide a chance to see the interior of All Saints’ Church on Putney Common including its windows designed by William Morris as well as the colourful ceiling of this hidden gem.

If you want to spend some time away from the hustle and bustle of Putney, the church will be open on 22 July, 5 August, 19 August and 2 September between 10am and 2pm.

The church, which was designed by George E. Street working with William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones, was built 1873–74 on land donated by Earl Spencer, and the foundation stone was laid by HRH Princess Christian of Schleswig-Holstein on 22 April 1873.

The windows are the most extensive glazing scheme by Morris & Co. in any London church. All but two windows are the work of Morris & Co., the majority being drawn by Burne-Jones, and six by Morris himself.

This site remains committed to providing local community news and public interest journalism.

Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets.

We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.

A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site.

One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute.

If you do support us in this way we’d be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor.

For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you’d like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT. All payments are made through a secure web site.
