The newly dedicated St. Columba's Church of Scotland on Pont Street, Knightsbridge — Sir Edward Maufe's austere Portland stone tower and nave photographed from the Pont Street entrance shortly after the building's dedication on 4 December 1955. The original Victorian church on this site was destroyed by an incendiary bomb during the Blitz on the night of 10 May 1941; the congregation worshipped at Imperial College for over a decade while this replacement was built. Maufe, who also designed Guildford Cathedral, chose a restrained modernist-vernacular idiom — the tall clock tower, broad arched nave window, and clean stone surfaces a deliberate departure from both Victorian Gothic and historicist styles. The church was Grade II listed in 1988 and remains the premier London congregation of the Church of Scotland, a focal point for Scots in the capital since 1884. Never mailed.
