St Stephen's Church, Westbourne Park, is a Grade II listed parish church in the Church of England[1] in London.
History
St Stephen's Church dates from 1856. It was designed by the architect brothers Frederick John and Horace Francis, who designed at least 20 other churches around London – only St Stephen’s is believed to still be in existence. Many changes have been made to the church over the years, the most notable being the removal of a tall spire. The latter was removed following World War II when it was deemed unsafe.[2]
The church, both exterior and interior, appears in the 1954 Adelphi feature film The Crowded Day.[3]
