EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful postcard image captures the enchanting beauty of St. Raphael's Church on Portsmouth Road in Surbiton, Surrey, during the 1910s. The Roman Catholic parish church, dedicated to the archangel St. Raphael, stands proudly against a backdrop of lush greenery, with its intricately designed Gothic Revival architecture on full display. The red-tiled roof, pointed arches, and ornate stonework are all reminiscent of the European churches that inspired its design. The serene atmosphere of the church is further accentuated by the tranquil surroundings. The tall trees lining the streets and the vibrant gardens add a sense of peace and solitude, making it a popular destination for both religious and secular visitors alike. The churchyard, filled with headstones and memorials, bears testament to the rich history and tradition of the community. The image also provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the lives of the people who attended the church during that era. The women in their elegant hats and long coats, and the men in their suits and bowlers, can be seen making their way to the church, adding a touch of nostalgia to the scene. St. Raphael's Church continues to be an important landmark in Surbiton and a source of pride for the local community. Its enduring beauty and historical significance make it a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the history and architecture of Surrey in the early 20th century.
