Brief description
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Andrew,_Stoke_Newington
2026: "St Andrew, Stoke Newington, is a Grade II* listed[1]Anglican parish church on Bethune Road in Stamford Hill (on the border of Stoke Newington), in the London Borough of Hackney, England. The church, which is dedicated to St Andrew, is located at the junction of Bethune Road and Dunsmure Road in London.
The interior is particularly striking, and features the extensive use of murals, mostly by the Victorian designers Heaton, Butler and Bayne. Most of the murals have been painted directly onto the walls; only those at high level in the chancel are marouflage. The reredos paintings are on mahogany and portray the Crucifixion and the Apostles.[6] The murals on the walls of the nave depict the life of Jesus from the Annunciation to the Ascension. Figures from the Old Testament and the New Testament are in the chancel above the string course.
Heaton, Butler and Bayne also designed most of the stained glass in the church's windows. The windows on the south side of the church did not survive damage by a bomb on 18 July 1944, during the Second World War.[7] The east window, dating from 1951, is by the Scottish stained glass artist William Wilson.[8]
The great west window was designed by Burlison and Grylls,[8] largely as a First World War memorial, and was dedicated in 1919. It was rededicated on 15 November 2015 by the Bishop of Stepney, the Rt Revd Adrian Newman, at a celebration marking the completion of the first phase of the ongoing repairs to St Andrew's Church.[9]
The church also includes an unusual First World War memorial listing those from the parish who served and returned.[6] It has been restored and is now hung in its original position at the east end of the north aisle.
The font, designed by Blomfield in alabaster, dates from 1884.[8] Blomfield also designed the pulpit.
The organ is by Walker and Sons."

"St Andrew's is a Grade II* listed church in the heart of Stamford Hill. With remarkable and unique wall paintings designed by Blomfield/Heaton Butler and Bayne, the murals were painted by Alexander Higerty. The building was completed in 1884, and the artwork after World War I when Higerty returned to create a war memorial for the fallen and a plaque of thanksgiving for those who returned."
