A number of children's activities, including a nursery school,[9] a parent and toddler group[10] and ballet classes, are held there.
[12] The new church was constructed from timbers taken from a barn (and also the adjoining stables) which stood at Stonehall Farm, Hurst Green, Oxted, Surrey.
[4] In 1926 the owners, local historian Uvedale Lambert and his wife Cecily (née Hoare) of South Park, Bletchingley, Surrey, in conjunction with members of the Hoare family, who gave generous financial assistance, offered the barn as one of the 25 new churches wanted in the Diocese of Southwark.
[8] It was decided to move the barn to North Sheen (now incorporated into Kew), where the generosity of Hugh Leyborne Popham had already provided a site.
[8] The tower-frame, copied from Tandridge Church near Oxted,[8] was made from timber cut at South Park, Bletchingley.
In 1928 the barn was pulled down at Stonehall, each beam carefully numbered, loaded on to lorries and carted to North Sheen where it was re-erected.
The roof was "hipped" to give greater width to the aisles, and brick walls substituted for weatherboards,[8] but the stone "plinth" is original.
The work was designed by Hugh Ray Easton of Cambridge, executed by Mr C Hammond of Kew and dedicated by The Venerable Charles Lambert on All Saints' Day, 2 November 1933.
The cedar wood used was given by the Rev Gerard Hoare, Rector of Godstone, and came from one large tree blown down in the churchyard there in 1927.
[8] The stained glass window in the lady chapel is a memorial to Peter Flint, churchwarden at the Barn Church for 20 years.
[8] The font is a copy of that at Aldenham, Hertfordshire,[8] and is cut in "Surrey" marble dug at South Park, Bletchingley.
[17] The story of the Barn Church at Kew inspired the building, in 1930, of St Alban's, Cheam, constructed out of the old barns and materials of Cheam Court Farm, which may have been connected with Nonsuch Palace, the Tudor royal palace built by Henry VIII.
