LevelSeries
DescriptionSacred Heart Church is a Roman Catholic church and parish in Teddington, southwest London that serves the Catholic community of Teddington and Hampton Wick. It is in the Upper Thames Deanery of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Westminster and is situated at 262 Kingston Road, approximately midway between the junctions with Kingston Bridge and Teddington Lock Footbridge. The classical style brick church with stone dressings was designed by John Kelly, of Leeds firm Kelly & Birchall, who also designed several other contemporary churches in the area. The church opened in 1893 with seating for up to 200 people. It comprised five bays with nave, aisles, and a short apsidal chancel. In 1934–35, under Fr Philip Foley, the church was extended westwards, adding a further two bays to accommodate a presbytery.
