Oh, is that still church grounds? I thought it was just another park. And it's neat to see I wasn't the only one who went to this one- small world, huh? -Haberdasher 04:08, 16 October 2012 (EDT)
- The 'park' is Turnham Green itself, and as you say, it's not consecrated ground, it's just another park. The church stands on the green, but has no consecrated land around it, just the building itself. Incidentally, the church (Christ Church) was designed by George Gilbert-Scott, a very famous and prolific Victorian British architect. Other buildings he designed include the Midland Grand Hotel at St Pancras station and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office on Whitehall -- both very grand buildings. His grandson, Giles Gilbert-Scott, was responsible for Battersea power station, Liverpool Cathedral, and the iconic old red telephone box. So the church on Turnham Green is in very good company! — Benjw {talk} 04:32, 16 October 2012 (EDT)
