St Andrew's Church, Ham, is a Grade II listed[3] Church of England church on Church Road, Ham Common in Ham, London.
Architecture
The church was built in grey brick in 1830–31; the architect was Edward Lapidge. A south aisle with a rose window, designed by Raphael Brandon, was added in 1860, and a chancel in red brick, by Bodley & Garner, in 1900–01.[1]
There are 32 windows. Eleven of these are stained glass installed between 1901 and 1948, four of which are by Shrigley & Hunt. The three-light window at the west end by Hugh Easton, installed in 1932, shows Saint Andrew in the centre, flanked by scenes of baptism and confirmation.[4] There are eight painted canvases featuring prophets and evangelists, all at the east end surrounding the high altar.[5]
Activities
The church has a service on Sunday mornings, a Sunday School for children between the ages of 3 to 11 years and a youth group for older children.
Lutheran services in the German language are also held at the church. A German-speaking congregation was established in 1979 on the initiative of parents of pupils attending the German School nearby in Petersham. Services in German have been held twice a month at St Andrew's since 1980. The services are on Sunday afternoons and a Sunday school is held at the same time. The services are led by Pastor Anne-Kathrin Kruse and Pastor Wolfgang Kruse. Ecumenical services are also held together with the Anglican St Andrew’s congregation and with Ham's German-speaking Catholic congregation[6] (which holds services at St Thomas Aquinas, Ham).
