Hi,


Does anyone have any old pictures or links to the old Church of Scotland site possibly known as St James Cloister located on the corner of East Dulwich Rd and Worlingham Road?


The Church was knocked down in 1976 to make way for the retirement home currently located on the site , it would of been located about midway along Goose Green.


Just after some information


Many Thanks in advance

Dyos's 'Victorial Suburb' shows comparative maps of the Worlingham road estate at 1880 and 1895. The church is in the 1895 map marked as 'St James Church'. Page 108 in my edition. Not sure what the maps are based on but most probably OS sheets.

Mention here says it was the last Scottish church built in London

More on the Rev George Stott here. His son was Lord Stott, though not born in Dulwich

Rev Dr George Gordon Stott (1868-1952) studied at the United College of St Andrews from 1886, gaining his MA in 1890, and then became a student at St Mary's College, St Andrews, being awarded a BD in 1893, and winning a number of prizes for his work. In the same year he was working as assistant to the professor of Hebrew and was licensed by Perth presbytery. He became minister at Dulwich (1898-1906), Northesk (1906-1910) and Cramond (1910-1943)

If you can get to the Booth archive, you might find something interesting here


Booth A54, pp31-35 Booklet - Life and work supplement for the Scottish National Churches in England, contains an article on St James Church, East Dulwich, November 1900

You probably want to get hold of a book called "The Scots Kirk in London" by George Cameron, published in 1979

    • Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report. 
    • I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
    • Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
