Church Of St Benet And All Saints

The Church of St Benet and All Saints is a Grade II listed church located on Lupton Street in Camden. It features a chancel with vestries and a south chapel built in 1908, while the nave was completed in 1928, designed by architect Cecil G Hare. The church is constructed from multi-coloured stock brick with stone dressings and has a slated roof topped with a south-eastern bellcote.

The building has an aisleless six-bay nave, flanked by single-storey porticoes on the west side, a small chapel to the north-east, and a chancel with a southern chapel and vestries. The exterior showcases a tall, narrow west end with a projecting central bay that includes a four-light tracery window, flat buttresses, and a brick pediment above. Double stone sill bands run around the parapets of the rectangular porticoes, which feature pointed arch entrances accessed by steps. The north and south facades have alternating projecting bays with three-light windows flanked by buttresses and pediments similar to those on the west end. The chancel is adorned with two large traceried lancets on the east wall, along with additional lancets on the south and north walls.

Inside, the nave has a concrete barrel vault, while the chancel boasts a painted coffered ceiling and a northern organ loft. The walls are made of painted brick with stone dressings. The nave bays alternate between wide and narrow, with the wide bays featuring tall three-light windows beneath gables that cut into the barrel vault. At ground floor level, there are continuous round-arched arcaded shallow niches containing cast metal Stations of the Cross in the wide bays, and small two-light windows with early 20th-century stained glass in the narrow bays. One of the wide southern bays has been converted into a pulpit. Notable fittings include a rood beam and a brown-veined marble pedestal font with a wrought-iron cover.
