Church of St Benet Fink

The Church of St Benet Fink, built between 1911 and 1912 by J S Alder, is a red brick structure featuring a stone arcade and dressings, topped with a slate roof. It has a truncated cruciform plan, with the eastern two bays of the five-bay nave designed as vestigial transepts that include cross gables. The layout consists of a narthex, a two-bay chancel, and a single-bay sanctuary. The nave has aisles that extend to the north as an organ chamber, which includes a vestry and boiler room behind it, and to the south as the two-bay chapel of St Luke.

The church showcases late Decorated-style tracery, primarily with three-light windows in the chapel and four-light windows in the nave, along with a large five-light east window and a broad three-light west window. There are corner entrances to the narthex, with the entrance on Walpole Road located under a spire that has a pyramidal top. The five-bay stone nave arcade is designed in a 14th-century style and features a high barrel roof lined with oak boarding.

Inside, the narthex includes a baptistery with a font situated in the center of three arched openings. The church retains its original pews, lectern, and pulpit, and features quarry-light glazing with shield medallions that display symbols of the saints. Stations of the cross were added in 1972. The chancel, which is accessed by two steps, has low stone walls and includes choir stalls, separated from St Luke's chapel by a war memorial screen. The altar is adorned with a reredos, with figures added sympathetically around 1950.

A notable feature of the church is the organ, originally from the church of St Peter-le-Poer in the City of London, which was demolished in 1908. This organ, built in the late 18th century by Green and modified by Willis, is considered the most important feature of the church. St Benet Fink was constructed using funds from the demolition of St Peter-le-Poer, which had previously absorbed the medieval City parish of St Benet Fink when that church was demolished in 1844. This church is regarded as Alder's most complete and least-altered work.
