St Mary's Church, Wimbledon

[5] In 1651, Dorothy Cecil left an endowment for the upkeep of her father's tomb, with any surplus to be used for the education and apprenticeship of local children.

[6] Sir Richard Wynn, a 17th-century Member of Parliament, is buried within the nave; he had notably taken care of Wimbledon Manor House for Henrietta Maria, wife of Charles I, after she fled to the continent in 1642 during the Civil War.

[5] Sir Theodore Janssen, Lord of the Manor of Wimbledon, who was one of the founders of the Bank of England and director of the ill-fated South Sea Company, is also commemorated.

[5] Two more modern brasses commemorate the abolitionist William Wilberforce, of the nearby Lauriston House, and Walter Reynolds, who was formerly the rector of the church and, later, the Archbishop of Canterbury.

[5] At the east end of the churchyard is the large mausoleum of Sir Joseph William Bazalgette, the renowned engineer of the Embankment and the sewer system in London around 1858.

The Garden Hall was completed in 2003 due to the need of more space for church activities, especially the growing Sunday School.

A full refit of the streaming system came in January 2022 and has since proven very effective in introducing more members to the church services.
