Christ Church, East Sheen is a Church of England church on Christ Church Road, East Sheen, in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. Its vicar is Rev David Guest.[1] Sunday services are held at 8am, 9:45am and 11:30am. Evensong is held at 5pm in winter and 6.30pm in summer.[2]
An early work of the architect Arthur Blomfield,[3] the church building, which is in stone, was erected between 1862 and 1864.[4] It was built on farmland at the entrance of East Sheen Common. It was originally planned to be opened in April 1863; however, the tower collapsed shortly before completion and had to be rebuilt. The church was finally completed and consecrated nine months later, on 13 January 1864.[5]
Mortlake Quiet Gardens are based around the landscaped churchyard and are affiliated to The Quiet Garden Trust.[6]
