^a (2). Parish Church of St. Mary, Putney, stands on the S. bank of the Thames and on the E. side of the approach to Putney Bridge. The walls of the tower are of rubble, with limestone dressings; the roof is covered with lead. With the exception of the West Tower, which is probably of early 15th-century date, the church was entirely rebuilt in 1836, when Bishop West's Chapel, which was erected in the reign of Henry VIII on the S. side of the church, was removed from its former site and re-erected in its present position on the N. side of the chancel.

Architectural Description—The West Tower (12 ft. by 11 ft.) is in three stages, with an embattled parapet. At the N.E. angle is an octagonal stair-turret and on the W. are diagonal buttresses. It has been completely restored and most of the dressings are modern.

Bishop West's Chapel (14¾ ft. by 10 ft.) is in two bays, (Plate 146) faced externally with modern stock bricks with limestone dressings; the internal walling and vaulting are of limestone. In the E. wall is one, and in the N. wall two, windows, each of three ogee cinquefoiled lights with moulded jambs and splays and tracery under a four-centred head; they are almost entirely modern, except the splays and rear-arches. In the S. wall are two large openings with a central pier, moulded responds and four-centred arches; the responds and piers have moulded bases and the jambs and soffit are panelled as is also the N. face of the pier to half its height, above which the wall is corbelled out. In the W. wall is a four-centred opening with moulded jambs and four-centred arch. Dividing the bays on the N. and S. walls and in the angles of the chapel are vaulting shafts, all with moulded capitals and bases, except the middle one on the S. wall, which rises from a carved corbel. The roof of the chapel is fan-vaulted with radiating traceried panels between the moulded ribs; the two flat spaces between the cones have each a quatrefoiled and sub-cusped circular panel containing a shield of the arms of the See of Ely impaling argent a cheveron sable between three roses gules seeded, stalked and leaved proper for West. In the middle of the panels to the E. and W. of the circles are carved rosettes with the letter W. superimposed.

^d(3). Parish Church of St. Leonard, Streatham, stands in the middle of the parish. The West Tower is built of flint and limestone-rubble with limestone dressings and is of late 15th or early 16th-century date; the rest of the church has been rebuilt in 1831 and at subsequent dates.

Architectural Description—The West Tower (11 ft. square) is in three stages, but the upper part of the third stage has been rebuilt. The tower-arch is mostly modern but retains a few old stones.

^a(5). Parish Church of All Saints, Wandsworth, stands on the N. side of the High Street, about 100 yards W. of the bridge over the River Wandle. The walls of the W. Tower are faced with modern brick. The W. tower was rebuilt in 1629–30 and the N. aisle added to the old building in 1724. With these exceptions the whole church was rebuilt in 1779–80.

Secular

^a(7). Roehampton House and garden wall are in the parish of Putney and stand on the E. side of Roehampton Lane, about 1½ m. S.W. of (2). The house is of three storeys with basement; the walls are of brick, with some freestone dressings; the roofs are covered with modern slates and lead flats.

The house is a handsome example of early 18th-century work. The details of the saloon and great staircase are noteworthy.

The house was built from the designs of Thomas Archer between 1710 and 1712, and originally consisted of a central rectangular block connected on either side by graduated arcades to advanced pavilions standing at right angles to the main block, the whole forming three sides of a courtyard. Large modern wings have been added on either side of the central block behind the quadrants, which are convex towards the garden, but only slight evidence remains of the pavilions. (Plate 145).

The W. Front is symmetrically arranged and is of seven bays with the three middle bays grouped in a slightly projecting central feature. The angles are rusticated, the windows, generally, have projecting key-blocks and aprons, and there are brick bands between the storeys. In the middle is a stone entrance approached by two flights of stone steps with an elaborate wrought-iron handrail; the doorway is flanked by Doric pilasters supporting an entablature with a broken curved pediment; above, is a semi-circular window with moulded archivolt, carved keystone and fluted Corinthian pilasters on either side supporting an entablature; the two windows to the top floor are round; the main cornice is dentilled and surmounted by a stone balustrade with square moulded balusters and panelled pedestals surmounted by balls. Over the side bays only the upper members of the cornice are continued and have a plain stone band below; above is a plain brick parapet with a stone capping, and at either end are stone vases. The arcaded corridors on either side have round-headed arches with moulded edges and rectangular brick piers with plain imposts. Above each arch is a plain recessed panel. The walls are finished with a moulded stone cornice. The inner walls have plain pilasters and the corridors are covered with plastered barrel-vaults. A few yards to the S.W. of the southern arcade is part of the S. wall of the S. pavilion, with the lower jambs of a doorway. The E. Front (Plate 148) is generally similar to the W. front, but in place of a window on the first floor of the middle bay is a semi-circular niche with a round head and the cornice above has a small pointed pediment.

The N. and S. Elevations were largely rebuilt when the modern additions were made. Such of the original elevations which remain at either end have a shallow round-headed recess on each of the two lower floors and a flat-headed one to the top floor. The chimney-stacks are rectangular, with a capping of projecting brick courses.

Interior: The main staircase was placed centrally on the S. side of the house, and a secondary staircase on the N., but both have been removed. The Entrance Hall has each wall divided into bays by fluted Corinthian pilasters which support an entablature, but only the cornice is continued round the room, and has modillions above the pilasters. The walls are panelled and have a moulded dado-rail; the doorway and windows have moulded architraves and the doors and shutters are panelled. The other original rooms on the ground-floor are panelled in painted deal. The room above the Entrance Hall is carried up to the top of the second floor. The walls are completely lined with paintings by Sir James Thornhill, representing landscapes in architectural framework, and the painting is continued over a cove to the ceiling, on which is a large subject-piece, the Gods on Olympus, with trophies-of-arms in the corners. Over the doors are semi-circular tympana, enclosed within the moulded architraves and also painted with trophies. The fireplace is modern but has an original overmantel shaped like a truncated pediment with incurved sides and painted with a trophy. The other rooms on the first and second floors are lined with painted deal. A short staircase leading to the roof has a moulded handrail and turned and moulded balusters. An old staircase (Plate 7) has been refixed in the modern N. wing, and is apparently a combination of the original main stairs and another, probably the secondary stair, of a slightly later date. The two flights from the basement to the ground-floor are the oldest, and have moulded handrails wreathed on plan at the foot of the stairs and ramped at the head of each flight, a plain string, turned, twisted and column-shaped balusters and newels, at the angles of the landings, of small Doric columns. The detail of the upper flight is slightly different. The moulded handrail is of the same section, but the balusters are more slender and turned and twisted; the moulding of the brackets of the string is continued under the soffit of the staircase, and the end of each riser is faced with marquetry work; the newels are similar to those to the lowerflights. The walls have a panelled dado with moulded capping and fluted pilasters to correspond with the handrail and newels. Where this passes across a window space at the landings it has an open balustrade. Much of the balustrading in the upper flights is of modern restoration or addition and the whole of the topmost landing appears to be modern.

The Garden Wall leading E. from the S.E. corner of the modern S. wing is of early 18th-century date with some modern repairs.

Condition—Of house, good.

Monuments (8–24).

The following monuments, unless otherwise described, are of late 17th-century date and of two storeys with attics. The walls are of brick and the roofs are tiled.

Condition—Good, unless otherwise stated.

The elevations have been, in places, refaced with modern brick. The S.E. front had a portico with two Doric columns supporting an entablature with curved pediment; it has been partly cut into by the modern chapel; the front is carried up in two shaped gables. The N.W. front has a shaped gable with a flat parapet, and at the floorlevels are brick bands. Inside the building one of the ground-floor rooms has some panelling, an original overmantel, and a panelled door with moulded architrave. The staircase (Plate 7) rises to the first floor in three flights and has moulded strings and handrail, twisted balusters and square newel-posts surmounted by carved half-boars, each holding a shield charged with a wheat-sheaf.
