4.9 Internal Impact on the listed building
The new extension has been designed with a view to
reducing impact on the listed fabric. Impacts have
been considered in depth.
Area
The proposal occupies the site of the 2005 St Mary’s
Centre, so physical disruption is contained within the
same area.
Height
The roof of the new extension has been carefully
designed to not visible from the interior of the church
through the chancel windows.
Sacristy
The sacristy storage area will be enlarged and
improved. This necessitates the removal of the small
area of 1904 sacristy wall, which was discussed at
Design Review and considered acceptable.

Holiday’s ‘Crucifixion’
Currently, Henry Holiday opus sectile ‘Crucifixion’ is
displayed on the wall of the St Mary Centre entrance.
Holiday made the Crucifixion for his house in
Hampstead, and it was given to St Mary’s on his death.
It was moved into the St Mary Centre from the transept
in 2005, and we are proposing to move it back into the
nave where it will be more visible.

Connection to the church
The new extension maintains a connection into the
church on both sides. The office will connect into the
vestry, and the church hall into the nave. This is
important for ongoing circulation and future flexibility.

The through-route is used on Sundays as a
processional route for the choir. Disabled access to the
church hall and disabled wc are accessed from both
the church and the St Mary’s Centre. Both these routes
will be maintained for flexibility.

In parallel, we have considered the impacts of the
proposal in the long term. Its design allows flexible
re-use so that, if Mary’s move out at some stage, all the
spaces could be used by the parish in different ways for
other parish activities. These include classes, events,
parish work and venue hire.
In terms of design, Dow Jones Architects are also
working with the parish to provide a thread of
continuity in detailing and material language to any
works within the church.
